《Nirvana in Fire》E42
Episode 42
Xia Jiang checked the brochure and unexpectedly found that it contained a letter from Princess Xuanji's sister, Princess Linglong, to King Yu.Qin Banruo returned to Prince Yu's Mansion with the letter, and handed the letter to Prince Yu with tears in his eyes, begging him not to give up, not for himself, but for the sake of the entire Hua clan.Only then did King Yu know that his mother was Princess Linglong of the Hua tribe.King Yu was filled with grief and anger when he learned that his mother had mistakenly believed in the King of Liang and helped him ascend the throne, but he was accused of treason and killed the entire family, and finally died on the battlefield.He knew very well that the blood of the Hua people had destined him not to inherit the throne. Emperor Liang's favor towards him was just to restrain the deposed crown prince and Prince Jing, treating him as a pawn.After thinking about this, although he burst into tears, he was full of resentment towards Emperor Liang.The cruel truth made King Yu determined to follow Xia Jiang's plan to kill Emperor Liang during the spring hunting in March and conspire to usurp the throne.
After the imperial edict rebuking King Yu was promulgated, Emperor Liang felt quite unhappy.He chatted with Gao Zhan about King Yu's life experience, and said that he had preferences and concerns about King Yu, but if his virtues exceeded those of the deposed prince, he could choose a virtuous person and entrust the world to him, but what King Yu did was too disappointing to him..
In Su's house, Wei Zheng, who was recovering from his injury, finally met Mei Changsu.Mei Changsu told Wei Zheng to be careful when speaking and not to reveal his identity when he saw Prince Jing.
Prince Jing, who has been pursuing the truth for many years, finally heard with his own ears the truth about the Red Flame Army's rebellion thirteen years ago.It turns out that 13 years ago, in the harsh environment of freezing weather, 70,000 Red Flame men fought to the death with the 200,000 Chongqing army with a disparity in strength, turning the tide and defeating the enemy.At a time when the military strength was in danger and casualties were heavy, reinforcements from Xie Yu and Xia Jiang finally arrived.What was unexpected was that the “reinforcements” actually swung their weapons towards each other and worked together to encircle and annihilate them. The Red Flame Army was caught off guard and almost all of them were wiped out, leaving very few survivors.Afterwards, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang not only contributed to quelling the rebellion, but also shamelessly claimed the credit for annihilating the enemy.
After listening to Wei Zheng's story, King Jing's eyes were filled with tears, filled with grief and anger, and he couldn't help himself.He said sadly: Xiao Shu will never come back again.Mei Changsu was heartbroken, but tried to calm down, and persuaded him that overturning the verdict meant asking the emperor to admit his mistake. Carrying the name of the unjustly killed hero and the emperor's eldest son was as difficult as climbing to the sky. For the final goal, he had to temporarily suppress his grief and anger and slowly pursue it.Prince Jing said sternly: Seventy thousand dead souls have not been put to rest, and the stigma has not been cleared up. My final goal is to clear up this case, and everything else will come later.
Qin Banruo took advantage of Juan Niang's desire to protect Tong Lu and asked Juan Niang to coax Tong Lu.Tong Lu unpreparedly revealed the secret that Mei Changsu had been poisoned by fire and cold.
In March, the spring hunting season arrived. King Yu stood by the city wall, looking at the spring hunting convoy gradually disappearing, and made up his mind to take action.
Escorted by Prince Jing and Meng Zhi, Emperor Liang and Concubine Jing came to the hunting grounds of Jiu'an Mountain. Mei Changsu was also invited to accompany them.After setting up camp, Concubine Jing took advantage of Emperor Liang to take a nap and summoned Mei Changsu.She carefully looked at Mei Changsu who was saluting her, trying her best to find any trace of Xiao Shu, but there was no trace of her. She had to take the opportunity of serving tea to deliberately pour water on Mei Changsu's arm, and checked for the birthmark from childhood, but she couldn't see it either..Even so, she still believed that the person standing in front of her was Xiao Shu.She offered to take Mei Changsu's pulse. When she learned of Mei Changsu's condition, Jing Fei's hand when taking the pulse trembled slightly.Prince Jing was very puzzled by his mother's abnormal behavior, and his doubts doubled.
