Nirvana in Fire Episode 41 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
Mei Changsu survived the Xuanjing Division's cruel methods with some danger but no harm. As soon as he got out of bed, he instructed Zhen Ping to keep a close eye on the arrested Tong Lu. Empress Yan repeatedly made things difficult for Consort Jing and Consort Hui, and ordered Consort Hui to copy two Buddhist scriptures within an impossible timeframe. Consort Jing wanted to help, but Empress Yan publicly humiliated her for her humble origins.
The Emperor of Liang comforted Consort Jing and wanted to promote her rank, but Consort Jing instead advised the Emperor of Liang to persuade Empress Yan not to relentlessly trouble Consort Hui. The Emperor of Liang increasingly felt that Consort Jing was virtuous and gentle, and decided to let Jingting, the son of Consort Hui, preside over the Xuanjing Division case. Inside the Xuanjing Division prison, Meng Zhi pressed on step by step, gradually breaking down Xia Jiang's psychological defenses.
Xia Jiang's calculations with all his leverage failed, and he finally understood that his power was completely gone. After the Xuanjing Division case, the Emperor of Liang completely lost trust in Xia Jiang and was quite dissatisfied with Prince Yu. Instead, he increasingly appreciated Prince Jing and hoped Prince Jing could quickly adapt to court affairs after being away for so long.
He advised him to consult with Mei Changsu more often, but Prince Jing feigned ignorance in front of the Emperor of Liang. Outside the palace, Prince Yu was decreed to be demoted to a Prince with Double Pearls. Inside the palace, Consort Yue, who had lost her son the Crown Prince, was also demoted to a second-rank Consort Xian. Consort Jing was elevated to Noble Consort. Prince Jing encountered Mu Qing on his way to the Su residence.
Mu Qing's deliberate evasion in his words made Prince Jing increasingly suspect that Mei Changsu had found Wei Zheng and might have hidden him in Mu Manor. At Prince Yu's residence, Qin Banruo desperately advised Prince Yu to recover and rebuild. Prince Yu, ordered to be confined to his residence, was dejected and depressed, lamenting that he no longer wished to fight for power. Qin Banruo disguised herself and sneaked into the prison.
Xia Jiang, hearing about Prince Yu's despondency, felt unwilling to accept defeat. He suddenly remembered the brocade pouch left to Banruo by her teacher, Princess Xuanji, and told Banruo to open it and see.
