Nirvana in Fire Episode 36 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
After Yan Que learned about the fire explosives, he was very angry. He questioned Xia Jiang if he had considered Xia Dong's safety, but Xia Jiang believed Xia Dong was a traitor to the Xuanjing Division and not worth pitying even in death. Xia Chun, standing by, felt a sense of reluctance and pleaded for Xia Dong, but Xia Jiang was indifferent.
Yan Que righteously accused Xia Jiang of being heartless and unjust, predicting he would eventually be defeated by righteousness and loyalty; while the cold-blooded Xia Jiang mocked Yan Que for being burdened by righteousness and loyalty his whole life. Looking at his despicable face, Yan Que said he could no longer stay with him for another moment and that he could leave now. The two words "can leave" made Xia Jiang suspicious.
After leaving the abbey, he found his mount stolen, and in his heart, he cried out that he had been tricked. He and Xia Chun hurriedly rushed back into the city. As soon as Xia Jiang entered the Xuanjing Division, the guards stationed there reported the strange behavior of the raiders who rushed to the dungeon entrance but did not enter, then broke out.
Xia Jiang carefully thought about the sequence of events and concluded that Prince Jing had found the true location where Wei Zheng was held, employing a diversionary tactic, and that Wei Zheng might have already been rescued. With this thought, Xia Jiang was greatly alarmed. Without time to think further, he and Xia Chun galloped to the Dali Temple prison where Wei Zheng was detained. The prison was calm as usual.
Only then did Xia Jiang understand that he had fallen into the enemy's trap and had become their guide, but it was too late. Zhen Ping and others who had secretly followed them had already tracked them to Dali Temple. Xia Jiang and Xia Chun were no match, and Fei Liu and others successfully rescued Wei Zheng. Prince Jing was very happy upon hearing the news of Wei Zheng's rescue.
Mei Changsu, however, calmly instructed him to prepare for the next battle, telling him to firmly deny any involvement in this matter. Inside the palace, Prince Yu presented the Emperor of Liang with a strange stone bearing the words "Liang Sheng". A crowd of officials praised the Emperor of Liang's sagacity, saying it was a heavenly sign of good fortune, and the Emperor of Liang could not contain his joy.
At this moment, Xia Jiang rushed into the hall in a panic to report about Wei Zheng's abduction. That a rebellious criminal dared to break into the Xuanjing Division and seize someone enraged the Emperor of Liang. He believed this matter must be related to Prince Jing, so he summoned Prince Jing to the palace. Meanwhile, Prince Ji, accepting Yu Jin's invitation, was leisurely listening to Gong Yu play a new song.
Gong Yu, using the excuse that the air inside was stuffy, pushed open the window and stood there. The unsuspecting Prince Ji walked to the window and saw Xia Dong in the alley downstairs, lifting a seriously injured prisoner onto a carriage, and he clearly saw the prisoner's face. The Emperor of Liang questioned Prince Jing about the Wei Zheng incident. Prince Jing pretended not to know, spoke with certainty, and demanded a confrontation with Xia Jiang.
Xia Jiang and Prince Yu pressed him step by step, but Prince Jing answered fluently and calmly, making it difficult for Xia Jiang to explain why he had transferred Wei Zheng to Dali Temple for detention. At this moment, the Empress sent someone to report that Consort Jing was found to have committed an act of defiance at ZhiLuo Palace. The furious Emperor of Liang kicked Prince Jing to the ground.
