Nirvana in Fire Episode 51 Recap
> Nirvana in Fire Recap
When Meng Zhi was on patrol, she saw Yu Jin sending off the Xie manor's second son, Xie Bi, on a long journey, and knew that the news of Xie Yu's death had reached the capital. Xie Bi was indeed going to Qianzhou to collect Xie Yu's body. Mei Changsu secretly sent people to escort him all the way, fearing he might encounter an accident.
In the Su manor, Mei Changsu received a report that Marquis Yan had agreed to the Crown Prince's request. Mei Changsu had someone tell the Crown Prince that it would be most logical for Princess Liyang to step forward on that matter. Princess Liyang was assassinated in her manor and was saved by Xiao Jingrui, who had just returned.
Princess Liyang believed that she lived a reclusive life and was free from worldly disputes, and only the letter from Xie Yu, which she had never left, could bring about her death. For his mother's safety, Xiao Jingrui decided to examine the contents of the letter. The letter detailed the entire process of the Meiling injustice case jointly orchestrated by Xie Yu and Xia Jiang 13 years ago. Every single detail was shocking and outrageous.
Faced with such a tragic truth, Xiao Jingrui could no longer sit still. He got up to expose the facts but was stopped by Princess Liyang. Knowing the old ties deeply, she could not stand by and watch Xiao Jingrui court death. However, Xiao Jingrui said that he could not be an accomplice to those who concealed the truth, and someone was already fighting for the letter. Even if he didn't speak up, he couldn't stay out of it.
Princess Liyang decided to hand the letter to the Crown Prince, Xiao Jingyan. Wei Zheng searched for years and finally found the Ice Soul Grass. Li Gang and Lin Chen were overjoyed because the old Master of Langya Hall had said that the Ice Soul Grass could cure the Fire and Ice Poison, and the Sovereign was finally saved. However, Lin Chen poured a basin of cold water on them.
It turned out that while using the Ice Soul Grass for detoxification, it also required ten strong men to exchange blood with the patient, and the ten people who exchanged blood would die from blood depletion. The three of them, including Li Gang, expressed their willingness to exchange blood for the Sovereign without hesitation, but Lin Chen said that Mei Changsu would never agree.
Mei Changsu, who heard the conversation, walked out and said that he could not lose morality, which was more important than his life. Xiao Jingyan wanted to restore Lin Shu's identity, but Mei Changsu refused. Xiao Jingyan could not understand his choice and argued with him. Mei Changsu explained that his image in the eyes of the world was that of a cunning strategist, while Xiao Jingyan was to be a compassionate, righteous, fair, and selfless monarch.
There could not be such a person by his side. He instructed Xiao Jingyan to establish a new clear and honest political situation, distinguishing truth from falsehood. Xiao Jingyan felt a pang in his heart and believed that the two were not contradictory. While the two were arguing, Princess Liyang requested an audience. Princess Liyang and Xiao Jingrui entered the hall and saw Mei Changsu.
She asked him to withdraw, but Xiao Jingyan said that Sir Su was like himself to him, and there was no need to withdraw at any time. Marquis Yan brought Ms. Han and her son to Xia Jiang's prison cell. Ms. Han ordered her son to kowtow to Xie Yu and told him to take Xia Jiang as a warning and not forget the kindness in his heart.
Xia Jiang was filled with remorse and had nothing to say in response. Xiao Jingyan asked Princess Liyang to bring the letter to the Emperor of Liang's birthday banquet and confess Xie Yu's crimes in front of all the officials, creating a situation of public uproar that would make it impossible to back down, thus forcing the Emperor of Liang to issue a decree to retry the old Chiyan case.
Princess Liyang did not agree and asked what benefit doing this would bring her. Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan felt cold in their hearts upon hearing this. Xiao Jingyan ruthlessly ordered her to leave.
