Nirvana in Fire Episode 47 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
So that Nie Feng and Xia Dong could meet soon, Wei Zheng and Mei Changsu both felt that Gong Yu's plan was feasible and could be carried out when the time was right. Guided by Lin Chen, Fei Liu captured Qin Banruo. Zhen Ping received a letter via carrier pigeon informing him that Xie Yu had died.
Mei Changsu believed his death could be utilized, because Princess Liyang held a handwritten confession from him, which could be used as an opportunity to reopen the old case. Shen Zhui saw through Prince Jing's thoughts and worried that he would risk offending the Emperor and suffer a loss that outweighed the gain. After the court session, he proactively spoke with him about Prince Qi's old case.
He said that 13 years ago, many people raised objections regarding the truth of the case, but they were either killed or demoted, and no one dared to speak again. He pointed out bluntly that for the Emperor of Liang, the truth was not important; what was important was that Prince Qi's influence was too great, like snoring beside the Emperor of Liang's bed, making him feel like he was treading on thin ice and in imminent danger.
Shen Zhui advised Prince Jing that now that the Eastern Palace was not yet established, if he were to rashly propose retrying the Chiyan Army case, it would only make the Emperor of Liang think that he was relying on his new achievements, angering him into fury by forcing him to admit the grave mistake he made back then, which would be of no benefit to clearing the old case.
As soon as Lin Chen arrived at the Su Residence, Mei Changsu eagerly asked him to treat Nie Feng's illness. After taking his pulse, Lin Chen said that Nie Feng was not deeply poisoned and the poison could be cured. Mei Changsu breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Chen gave Qin Banruo to Mei Changsu as a "gift". Based on Qin Banruo's movements, they speculated that Xia Jiang was still in the capital.
In fact, Xia Jiang was indeed hiding in the residence of the outer official Master Fan and planned to use Master Fan's niece, Consort Fan, to deliver a secret letter to the deposed Crown Prince's birth mother, Consort Yue. Mei Changsu exhausted himself, considering Prince Jing in every way, and his health worsened.
Lin Chen warned him bluntly that his physical condition was not optimistic; if he did not rest and recuperate peacefully, his life would be in danger at any time. Prince Jing was instated as the Crown Prince and moved into the Eastern Palace. To avoid future trouble, Mei Changsu ordered the complete sealing of the secret passage.
The Emperor of Liang's health was much worse than before; he finally realized he was old, and thus ordered the Crown Prince to oversee state affairs. Meng Zhi arranged for people to swap out Xia Dong. Learning that Xia Dong was coming, Nie Feng was both filled with anticipation and uneasy, afraid that Xia Dong would not be able to accept his appearance.
Looking at Nie Feng, who was completely disfigured and covering his face while shedding tears, Xia Dong affectionately held his hand, and countless words turned into just one sentence: "You're finally back!" After being separated by life and death and suddenly reuniting, the two of them could no longer distinguish between joy and sorrow. They remained silent, only shedding countless tears. Lin Chen described the symptoms of the Fire and Ice Poison to everyone present and listed two detoxification methods.
One method involved scraping the bone and peeling the skin, shattering and reshaping the bone. After detoxification, the face would change but would be no different from an ordinary person's, except all internal energy would be lost, and the person would be weak and sickly, able to live up to forty years at most if well cared for.
The other method involved less pain and allowed one to live out their natural lifespan, but one would not be able to speak, and the white hair on the body could not be completely removed. Only then did Meng Zhi, Nihuang, and others present realize what agonizing pain Lin Shu, who had been poisoned by the Fire and Ice Poison, had endured.
Nihuang's heart was trembling, and Meng Zhi even roared disregardingly, scolding Mei Changsu for not taking care of his body and coming to the capital to gamble with his life. To stay together forever, Nie Feng and Xia Dong chose the second detoxification method.
