Nirvana in Fire Episode 33 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
After Prince Jing left the palace, he was furious. He told Lie Zhanying, who was waiting outside the palace, that he had misjudged Mei Changsu. In the secret passage, Mei Changsu anxiously waited for Prince Jing to discuss the matter of Wei Zheng. However, Prince Jing had misunderstood Mei Changsu's character and disposition after hearing Xiao Xin's words. He hesitated for a long time, unwilling to see him.
Only after Lie Zhanying's persuasion did Prince Jing enter the secret passage with him. Knowing clearly that Xia Jiang was setting a trap, Prince Jing and Lie Zhanying still requested Mei Changsu without hesitation to find a way to rescue Wei Zheng. Their loyalty to their comrade was far more important than their own safety and gains or losses.
With Wei Zheng captured, Mei Changsu was equally anxious internally, but he still rationally pointed out that rescuing Wei Zheng would bring a hundred disadvantages and no benefits, advising Prince Jing that to achieve his great ambition, he must know when to sacrifice. This attitude made Prince Jing, who already misunderstood him, even more furious.
Without waiting for Mei Changsu to finish speaking, Prince Jing swung his sword and severed the rope of the communication bell in the secret passage, breaking off relations with Mei Changsu and leaving with a flick of his sleeve. Consort Jing became suspicious of Xiao Xin. She quietly questioned Xiao Xin about the process of delivering the message and learned that Xiao Jinzi from Consort Hui's palace had helped.
Recently, the Emperor of Liang, who had been frequently dreaming of Consort Chen, was troubled and came to Zhi Luo Palace again after the court session. He asked Consort Jing for her opinion on the case of the former Chiyan Army from that year. Consort Jing did not give a substantive answer. In casual conversation, the Emperor of Liang mentioned catching a remnant who had escaped the rebel case from that year.
Before he finished speaking, he startled Consort Jing so much that she dropped the teacup in her hand to the ground. She thought the rebel caught was Lin Shu, but her emotions calmed down after learning it was Wei Zheng. The Emperor of Liang told Consort Jing to restrain Prince Jing more, not to be stubborn about the rebel case, and to act appropriately.
Fearing that Prince Jing would act impulsively, Mei Changsu, enduring his illness, braved the heavy snow to go to Prince Jing's manor. He waited for a long time in the drafty entrance hall before Prince Jing came out to meet him. At this time, Meng Zhi also arrived. Mei Changsu pleaded with him, but no matter how great the danger, Prince Jing was determined to rescue Wei Zheng without hesitation.
Prince Jing's righteousness and deep affection for Lin Shu deeply moved Mei Changsu, and he decided to risk rescuing Wei Zheng. He, Prince Jing, and Meng Zhi discussed the strategy to rescue Wei Zheng in detail. During their conversation, Prince Jing learned that the Jiangzuo Alliance had already organized personnel to rescue Wei Zheng once and had suffered many casualties, finally realizing he had misunderstood Mei Changsu. His expression finally softened.
Mei Changsu believed that the rescue of Wei Zheng must be arranged by him, and Prince Jing could not appear, nor could anyone from Prince Jing's manor be involved in this matter, otherwise the struggle for the throne would be all in vain. He hoped Prince Jing would keep his composure, calmly face the provocations of Xia Jiang and Prince Yu, and not be caught with a handle in the open.
After careful consideration, the few of them decided that there was no other way but to forcibly seize him, but success would be halfway guaranteed only after Xia Dong, who was most familiar with the Xuanjing Division dungeon, returned to the capital and offered her assistance.
