《Nirvana in Fire》E41
Episode 41
Mei Changsu fell into a coma for a few days, and the first thing he did after waking up was to tell Zhen Ping to send more people to find the whereabouts of Tong Lu, who was captured by King Yu.
Queen Yan made things difficult for Concubine Hui and ordered her to copy out two Buddhist scriptures within a short period of time.Seeing that it was difficult to complete the work on time, Concubine Jing offered to help her, but was publicly humiliated by Queen Yan that she was a medical woman and was not qualified to copy Buddhist scriptures.
When Emperor Liang learned about this, he took the initiative to support Concubine Jing and prepared to promote her status.By delivering medicine to Concubine Hui, Concubine Jing let Emperor Liang know that Empress Yan had been making things difficult for Concubine Hui, and asked Emperor Liang to persuade the empress.Emperor Liang therefore thought of King Ning Jingting, son of Concubine Hui, and decided to let him preside over the case of Xuanjing Division.
Meng Zhi told Xia Jiang that his two apprentices, Shaochun Shi Xia Chun and Xia Qiu, had both been killed by the forty-weight staff because they despised the emperor.The arrogant Xia Jiang knew that all the chips he relied on to overturn the case had been lost. He collapsed to the ground, knowing that if he lost the emperor's trust, all efforts would be in vain.When he learned that Mei Changsu's Wujin poison had been cured, his eyes widened in disbelief.
In his testimony, Xia Jiang testified that Mei Changsu was an old friend of King Qi, but Emperor Liang laughed at him, thinking that he was biting randomly.After the Xuanjingsi case, Emperor Liang greatly appreciated Prince Jing and intended to let him take charge of the East Palace.He advised Prince Jing to learn the unfamiliar court affairs as soon as possible, and urged him to seek advice from Mei Changsu more often. Prince Jing pretended not to understand what Emperor Liang meant, and proposed to take Cai Quan and Shen Zhui along, leaving Emperor Liang to shake his head helplessly.
Prince Yu was dismissed and demoted to Prince Shuangzhu and kept in seclusion for three months; Concubine Yue was exempted from the rank of imperial concubine and demoted to the rank of second-grade virtuous concubine; Concubine Jing was named a noble concubine and received an additional rank of first-grade concubine.Prince Yu was disheartened and accepted the order to thank him.
When Prince Jing met Mu Qing, he wanted to ask if Wei Zheng was hiding in Prince Mu's palace, but Mu Qing kept him away from him.Mei Changsu learned that King Jing had come with Cai Quan and Shen Zhui, and knew that King Jing was paving the way for his own future. He was grateful and wanted to retire after his success.
King Yu knew that the situation was over and there was no way to turn around. He spent all day drinking in his mansion to drown his sorrows, unable to extricate himself.Qin Banruo tried to persuade him in every possible way, but King Yu lamented that ten years of fighting life was too tiring and he had no intention of fighting anymore.He was depressed and mentally depressed, leaving Qin Banrui helpless.
In Su's house, Mei Changsu and others were having a lively conversation.When it came to the matter of deciding the brand of Zhongzheng, Mei Changsu suggested that the eighteen deputy Zhongzheng should be selected based on Cai Quan. As Zhongzheng, he recommended an unexpected candidate - the seventy-five-year-old Fenggege Lao Cheng Zhiji..
At his wits' end, Qin Banruo disguised himself and sneaked into jail, telling Xia Jiang that there was no hope and that King Yu was decadent and had no intention of regaining his strength.Xia Jiang was extremely unwilling. He suddenly remembered the brocade bag left by Princess Xuanji, and asked Qin Banruo to open the brocade bag and check it out.
