Nirvana in Fire Episode 21 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
Xie Yu worried that Prince Yu would break into his mansion, so he quietly sent people to deploy the patrol guards to guard his mansion gate. Prince Yu, who had already been waiting outside the mansion, was unable to enter Ningguo Manor and could only observe from where he was. Inside the mansion, both sides were locked in a stalemate.
Gong Yu seized the opportunity to reveal the truth of the matter: At that time, her mother had just conceived her, and in his joy, her father decided to retire from being a killer for the sake of the child. Just then, he received his last task: to assassinate the child of Princess Liyang for Xie Yu. However, Liyang, who had been prepared, swapped the child during the chaos, resulting in Zhuo Dingfeng's child being mistakenly killed.
Her father could not bear to follow Xie Yu's orders to kill the other child again, but was hunted down and killed by Xie Yu. The truth could no longer be concealed. The Zhuo and Xie families were sworn enemies. Xie Yu ordered the execution of the demoness Gong Yu and Zhuo's accomplices, including Mei Changsu and the Zhuo family.
To protect the Zhuo family members, Xie Bi even threatened to commit suicide to coerce his father, but ultimately lacked the courage and was escorted back to his room. During the chaotic fight, Xia Dong released the signal flare of the Xuanjing Division. Prince Yu now had a reason to enter the mansion, but despite his persistent efforts, he was blocked outside the gate by the patrol guard general Ouyang Chi.
Fei Liu opened the secret passage of Xie Yu's mansion, and everyone escaped to the pavilion on the island in the lake in the backyard, where they were surrounded by Xie Yu's mansion soldiers. The patrol guards' strong archers unleashed volleys of arrows. Everyone was in grave danger. As they were struggling desperately, the arrows suddenly stopped.
It turned out that as Prince Yu and the patrol guard general were at a stalemate, Yan Que arrived and questioned Xie Yu about the safety of his son Yan Yujin, and led the way in forcing their way into the marquis's mansion. Xie Yu felt fear. At the moment of heightened tension, Princess Liyang threatened to kill herself, and Xie Yu was forced to stop.
Gong Yu apologized to the Zhuo family with deep remorse, willing to atone with her death. Mei Changsu told Zhuo Dingfeng that only by bringing down Xie Yu could he protect his family, and urged him to expose Xie Yu's crimes. Zhuo Dingfeng replied that as long as he could save his wife and children, he was willing to bear all the guilt alone. Xia Dong felt that she had been a pawn of Mei Changsu and left resentfully.
Liyang informed Yuwen Nian that Jingrui's stay or departure was up to him, and no one had the right to interfere. Yuwen Nian could only leave with tears in her eyes. At Liyang's request, Prince Yu swore that as long as Xie Yu was brought down, there would be no implication of others, and that the Zhuo family would always be treated kindly.
