Nirvana in Fire Episode 40 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
Prince Yu returned to her residence, grieving silently. Prince Yu's Consort pleaded for her brother on behalf of Prince Yu. Prince Yu sighed that winning or losing had its own destiny, and she was now without hope for the throne. At Shen Zhui's residence, Cai Quan was indignant recalling everything in the hall and Emperor of Liang's handling of the private fireworks workshop case. He drank to forget his troubles and expressed concern for Prince Jing.
Shen Zhui comforted Cai Quan that the more difficult the time, the less they could give up hope. Inside Zhi Luo Palace, Consort Jing pleaded with Emperor of Liang not to show too much favor to Prince Jing. Emperor of Liang told Consort Jing to relax. At the same time, he was angry at the Xuanjing Division's audacity and mentioned Mei Changsu, who had been persecuted by Xia Jiang.
Consort Jing feigned curiosity and asked Emperor of Liang about Mei Changsu, sighing that Mei Changsu had suffered an unwarranted disaster for Prince Jing in vain. Emperor of Liang then told Consort Jing to tell Prince Jing that he should consult Mei Changsu more often. Meng Zhi went to the dungeon to visit Xia Dong and encouraged Xia Dong to cheer up again. Xia Dong asked about Xia Jiang's crimes.
Meng Zhi frankly said that Xia Jiang had no chance of survival based on his crimes. Xia Dong asked Meng Zhi to convey to Prince Jing and Mei Changsu that they must bring justice for the deceased. Emperor of Liang tested Consort Jing to see if Prince Jing only wanted to be a prince who handled affairs. Consort Jing was fearful.
Emperor of Liang then expressed his appreciation for Prince Jing to Consort Jing and promised that he would take Consort Jing with him to the Spring Examination in March, where she could also summon Mei Changsu. Prince Jing entered the palace to visit Consort Jing. Consort Jing called for Xiao Xin. Only then did Prince Jing learn the truth about Consort Jing being trapped in Zhi Luo Palace at that time.
Prince Jing felt guilty in his heart and decided to apologize to Mei Changsu. Prince Jing braved the snow to come to the Su residence but received the news that Mei Changsu was gravely ill. Meng Zhi rushed over and told everyone that Mei Changsu had been forced by Xia Jiang to take the Wujin Pill. Qin Banruo disguised herself and entered the prison to seek advice from Xia Jiang.
Xia Jiang told her they still had a chance during the Spring Hunt in March and asked Qin Banruo to inform Prince Yu. Prince Jing and Meng Zhi rushed to the dungeon and ordered Xia Jiang to hand over the antidote for the Wujin Pill. However, Xia Jiang knew that Prince Jing would not act rashly. Mei Changsu's Fire and Ice Chill Poison neutralized the Wujin Pill's toxicity, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Jing felt sad thinking of Xiao Shu and resolved that he must vindicate the innocent deceased.
