Nirvana in Fire Episode 20 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
Xiao Jingrui's birthday arrived. Mei Changsu, Meng Zhi, Xia Dong, and others were invited to celebrate, and Gong Yu also came as promised to perform. Mei Changsu gave ten precious Heart Protection Pills as a birthday gift. Yan Yujin seized the opportunity to ask for some, and everyone teased each other, creating a lively atmosphere. Xia Dong had long since identified Zhuo Dingfeng as the suspect in the New Year's Eve eunuch murder case.
She wanted to find evidence through the wounds on the victim's body. After the banquet began, Xia Dong deliberately suggested sparring with Zhuo Dingfeng to understand his sword style. However, after a few rounds, the prepared Zhuo Dingfeng revealed nothing. At this moment, Yue Xiuzhe, disregarding the guards' obstruction, forced her way into Ningguo Manor and challenged Zhuo Dingfeng. When masters fight, victory or defeat is decided in an instant!
Zhuo Dingfeng, fearing revealing a flaw in front of Xia Dong, requested to fight the next day. But Yue Xiuzhe pressed on, demanding a decisive battle with Zhuo Dingfeng immediately. Zhuo Dingfeng, disregarding Xie Yu's obstruction, accepted the challenge according to jianghu rules. However, at the last moment, claiming to be distracted, he did not use his winning move, resulting in the tendons in his right wrist being severed, crippling his martial arts.
At this moment, Nian Nian, who had entered with Yue Xiuzhe, walked up to Jingrui, removed her veil, and affectionately called him "Brother"! This sudden scene struck Jingrui like lightning. Everyone was also astonished by the resemblance between Nian Nian and Jingrui. Prince Ling Yuwen Xuan pulled Nian Nian in front of the Princess and introduced her, saying: This is Xian Dai Junzhu Yuwen Nian, daughter of Sheng Wang Yuwen Lin. The Princess was already in tears at this moment.
It turned out that over twenty years ago, when Sheng Wang was a hostage in Liang, he had a relationship with Princess Liyang, which was opposed by the Liang royal family. Under the coercion of the Empress Dowager, Sheng Wang reluctantly left the capital. At that time, Liyang was already pregnant. Jingrui heard this, and his heart was enlightened, but he still held onto a sliver of hope. He turned and asked the Princess for confirmation.
Looking at the Princess's hesitant face, his heart turned cold. He knew that what Prince Ling had said was the truth. At this moment, Gong Yu's desolate laughter suddenly echoed in the hall. Everyone looked at her in confusion. Gong Yu tearfully revealed the cruel truth of that year: It turned out that Xie Yu had long known that the child in the Princess's womb was not his.
He secretly hired someone to commit murder, and Gong Yu's father was the assassin who carried out this task. This caused a thousand ripples like a single stone. The Zhuo family members were even more thunderstruck. Xie Yu knew that he could no longer let Gong Yu speak, and ordered her to be killed on the spot.
