Nirvana in Fire Episode 31 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
Wei Zheng and his group encountered a heavy ambush by the Xuanjing Division while delivering medicine, suffering heavy casualties. To save his brothers, Wei Zheng put down his weapon and surrendered. Meng Zhi was going to accompany the Emperor of Liang to the imperial tomb for the vigil. When she took her leave, she saw Mei Changsu lying in bed unconscious and was very worried.
She pressed for Mei Changsu's true condition, but Li Gang and Zhen Ping were not at liberty to say clearly; they just told her not to worry. Prince Yu asked the Empress for help to confine Consort Jing for a few days. The Empress, following Prince Yu's plan, searched Consort Jing's medicine cabinet and found Ruan Ge Cao.
Together with the imperial physicians who had already colluded with them, she took Consort Jing away on the grounds that the herb was poisonous and harmful to the Emperor's health, and sealed Zhi Luo Palace. Xiao Xin, a palace maid serving Consort Jing, escaped from the palace under Prince Yu's arrangement and successfully entered Prince Jing's mansion to report the news.
Lie Zhanying arranged for Qi Meng to take Xiao Xin to rush to the imperial tomb to ask the Emperor of Liang for help. Under Doctor Yan's careful treatment, Mei Changsu, who had been unconscious for three days, finally passed the most critical moment, but his body was still weak and he needed several days of rest.
Li Gang and Zhen Ping, who were well aware of their master's condition, successively received the news of Wei Zheng's capture and Consort Jing's confinement, but did not inform Mei Changsu. Qi Meng and Xiao Xin galloped towards the imperial tomb, but were stopped halfway by people sent by Prince Yu disguised as members of the Jiangzuo Alliance.
The people who stopped them said that their master asked them to go back and not send the message, because they would use a stratagem of self-inflicted injury to make the Emperor severely punish the Empress. To make Qi Meng believe this, he further explained that Consort Jing had a rank and would only suffer some grievance, and the Empress could not possibly take her life. Tong Lu was captured by Qin Banruo.
Qin Banruo saw that severe torture could not shake Tong Lu, so she used Fourth Sister as a threat. Tong Lu, deeply entangled in love, his psychological defense line finally collapsed, and he revealed Miaoyin Fang and Mr. Thirteen. Prince Yu immediately sent people to seal Miaoyin Fang. Fortunately, Mr. Thirteen had prepared in advance, so Prince Yu gained nothing. This matter was seen by Gong Yu.
Mr. Thirteen and Zhen Ping decided to intercept and rescue Wei Zheng at the city gate. Although they were short-handed, they had no choice but to make a hasty attempt. At this time, Gong Yu came to report the news. Combined with Tong Lu's abnormal whereabouts, they speculated that Tong Lu had betrayed them. Prince Yu stated that his plan was fully prepared and asked the Empress to release Consort Jing.
