《Nirvana in Fire》E24
Episode 24
King Jing was determined to thoroughly investigate the case of King Qi's rebellion.Mei Changsu advised Prince Jing: If the case is thoroughly investigated, it will cause endless disasters, which will not be of any benefit to what he is planning now, and the injustice will never be vindicated.However, Prince Jing remained unmoved at all.He spoke sincerely and resolutely, and asked Mei Changsu to plan for him. He must avenge King Qi and Lin Jiaping, otherwise he would be sorry for his old brothers and would have trouble sleeping and eating.Mei Changsu couldn't help but be moved. He was deeply moved and promised to do his best to help him find out the truth.Prince Jing solemnly bowed to him and expressed his deep gratitude.
At this time, the mourning sound of the death of the Empress Dowager suddenly came from the palace, and King Jing left in a hurry.Mei Changsu thought of his great-grandmother's love for him, and felt so sad that he vomited blood.
Daliang entered the period of national mourning.During the thirty-day period of filial piety, the filial piety rituals were strict. All princes had to stay in the Xiao Palace, kowtow, cry and offer sacrifices, and were not allowed to eat at will.The pampered prince and Prince Yu often violated the rules and went beyond the norm. Only Prince Jing strictly observed filial piety and worshiped sincerely.The moral qualities of each prince were suddenly revealed, and the ministers who were watching could see it.
During these thirty days, Mei Changsu fulfilled his filial piety alone in his room.His longing for and love for the Queen Mother lingered in his heart for a long time, making the grief of losing a loved one more solemn and profound.When he recalled the days he spent with his great-grandmother, he was like an iceberg being roasted on a fire, warm at one moment and bitingly cold at the other.Nihuang was worried that he was too sad and rushed to Su Zhai on Pegasus.Mei Changsu poured out all his grief before his mood calmed down a little.Nihuang didn't want to go back to Yunnan, so she decided to go to Weiling to keep vigil and stay with Mei Changsu.Mei Changsu thought it would be safer to go to Wei Ling, so he agreed to Ni Huang.
Xie Yu left Beijing for the place of exile. Jingrui and Xie Bi accompanied Princess Liyang to see him off.Xie Yu wrote down the secrets he had in accordance with Mei Changsu's instructions and kept them under Li Yang's personal care.If he dies, the manuscript will become irrefutable evidence, and Xia Jiang will not dare to attack him.Xia Dong came with anger, intending to kill his enemy, but Jing Rui saw that the situation was wrong and stood in front of Xie Yu.Xia Dong was sarcastic and sharp, making Xie Yu frightened.
Regarding the control of the patrol camp, the two factions of Prince Yu and King were arguing. Emperor Liang was unable to make a decision and felt agitated.At the reminder of Gao Zhan, the chief internal supervisor, Emperor Liang came to see Concubine Jing, who was celebrating her birthday. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Concubine Jing and Prince Jing enjoying their family life happily, which warmed his heart.
Because of his ability in doing things, Emperor Liang decided to reward King Jing.King Jing begged Emperor Liang to pardon a prisoner serving in exile in Lingnan, which made Emperor Liang misunderstand.It was explained that the criminal was an ordinary doctor who was implicated for the crime of lese majeste.Concubine Jing had worshiped him as her teacher when she was young, and could not bear to see him die in a foreign land in his old age.After hearing this, Emperor Liang realized that he had misunderstood, so he nodded in approval.
