Nirvana in Fire Episode 43 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
Mei Changsu accompanied Prince Jing to meet Consort Jing. Consort Jing examined Mei Changsu carefully, and when serving him tea, deliberately spilled the teacup to wet Mei Changsu's clothes. She took the opportunity to search for the marks on Xiao Shu's arm from that year but found nothing. Consort Jing requested to take Mei Changsu's pulse, using the excuse that she wanted to see more case examples.
After assessing his condition, she couldn't help but lose her composure slightly, but Mei Changsu remained calm throughout. Consort Jing forcibly invited Prince Jing out of the tent, and finally couldn't control her emotions, crying uncontrollably. Mei Changsu couldn't help but feel emotional, but he still comforted Consort Jing, telling her not to worry about him. His mother's unusual behavior filled Prince Jing with suspicion, and he asked Mei Changsu for the reason. Mei Changsu remained silent.
Consort Jing, having calmed her emotions, used words to distract Prince Jing's attention, preventing him from continuing to suspect. In Jinling City, Prince Yu successfully persuaded the Empress to assist with his rebellious plan, secretly making arrangements. However, Mei Changsu and his group at Jiu'an Mountain were completely unaware. Unexpectedly, Mei Changsu discovered Gong Yu mixed in among the Imperial Guards, silently standing guard for him. Hearing that Prince Yu was rebelling, Junniang risked her life to rescue Tong Lu.
The escaping Tong Lu informed Li Gang and Zhen Ping of the full story. However, on his way to Jiu'an Mountain to deliver the message, he died protecting Zhen Ping. Prince Yu, in conjunction with the Qingli Army, attacked the Hunting Palace. Mei Changsu and Prince Jing discussed countermeasures. After obtaining permission from the Emperor of Liang, Prince Jing took the military tally and quickly went down the mountain to dispatch the Jicheng Army to come and protect the Emperor.
Before parting, Prince Jing worried that if he could not bring back reinforcements in time, the Emperor of Liang would be held hostage by Prince Yu, and Consort Jing, Mei Changsu, and Meng Zhi would also be unable to escape this calamity. Mei Changsu comforted Prince Jing, telling him not to have any reservations. He should prioritize the state and must not let Prince Yu succeed. He and the seventy thousand loyal souls of the Chiyan Army would all be with him.
