Nirvana in Fire Episode 37 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
The Emperor of Liang, in a furious rage, came to ZhiLuo Palace. The Empress triumphantly reported the full story to him. Only then did the Emperor of Liang realize that it was about Consort Jing secretly setting up the tablet of Consort Chen. This was something he had arranged himself, and only he and Consort Jing knew about it.
Looking at Consort Jing, who knelt in the hall without defending herself, he felt Consort Jing's thoughtful protection towards him and felt a little more at ease. To help Consort Jing vent her anger, the Emperor of Liang ordered that Xiao Xin, who had betrayed her master, be executed. Consort Jing quickly requested to handle the matter herself, and the Emperor of Liang granted her request.
The Emperor of Liang originally wanted to gloss over it, but the Empress was relentless and argued forcefully. He could only symbolically punish Consort Jing, an action that completely baffled the Empress. Consort Jing's virtuous and sensible demeanor calmed the Emperor of Liang down. Returning to the main hall, his expression softened slightly, and he allowed Prince Jing to stand up and reply. Xia Jiang questioned repeatedly, and Prince Jing answered fluently.
Prince Yu saw the situation was unfavorable and mentioned Prince Jing's past relationship with the Chiyan Army, stirring up dissatisfaction in the Emperor of Liang's heart. Xia Jiang took the opportunity to request the Emperor of Liang's decree to interrogate Mei Changsu. Hearing this, Prince Jing became extremely anxious and tried his best to stop it, inevitably revealing his emotions, which made the Emperor of Liang suspicious again.
The Emperor of Liang graciously approved Xia Jiang's request, ordering Prince Jing to return to his palace to reflect quietly and not to leave, and also told him to temporarily hand over the jurisdiction of the Patrol Division to the Ministry of War. Mei Changsu had long anticipated that he would be implicated. He arranged the next steps in advance, took a life-saving pill, and waited quietly in his residence.
After the Emperor of Liang left, Consort Jing immediately interrogated Xiao Xin. Only then did Xiao Xin realize that Consort Jing had long seen through her identity as a spy and had deliberately let her find the tablet of Consort Chen to confirm her suspicion.
It turned out that Consort Jing had noticed something was amiss from the time Xiao Xin tearfully complained about being confined in front of Prince Jing, and the sudden death of Xiao Jinzi further confirmed her suspicion that something was strange. Consort Jing saved her so that she could personally tell Prince Jing the truth, allowing Prince Jing and Mei Changsu to resolve their past grievances.
Prince Jing, who was confined, heard that Xia Jiang had taken Mei Changsu away and was extremely anxious, wanting to go to the Xuanjing Division to exchange himself for Mei Changsu. Lie Zhanying stopped him, reminding him to remember Mr. Su's instructions and not act rashly. Inside the Xuanjing Division, Xia Jiang interrogated Mei Changsu, threatening him that even the toughest man could not withstand the inhuman methods of the Xuanjing Division.
Mei Changsu thought for a moment and agreed to confess to Xia Jiang. He admitted that he had long been colluding with Prince Jing, that Prince Jing was the mastermind behind the prison break, and he was the planner. Obtaining a confession so easily made Xia Jiang suspect that Mei Changsu might recant when facing the Emperor. His mind turned, and he proceeded to press for Wei Zheng's whereabouts.
