《Nirvana in Fire》E49
Episode 49
Xia Jiang took the risk and went to the palace to tell Emperor Liang all his suspicions. The Royal Academy also found records about the fire-cold poison.Emperor Liang saw that fierce fire, blizzards and the unique snow scale insects in Meiling were the three conditions for the formation of fire-cold poison. He immediately thought of the bloody battle of Meiling, and then thought of the various changes that happened two years after Mei Changsu entered the capital, and became more suspicious.He immediately sent an order to summon Mei Changsu to the palace, and at the same time forced Meng Zhi to rest for three days, and controlled the imperial army in the hands of Chai Dutong.Seeing that the situation was critical, Gao Zhan took advantage of Concubine Jing's maid to deliver lily soup to the emperor and secretly sent a message that Mr. Su was not allowed to enter the palace.After Concubine Jing found out, she quickly ordered someone to tell Prince Jingyan.Lie Zhanying followed the prince's order and went to stop him, but when he chased him to the palace gate, he was a step too late. Mei Changsu had already entered the palace.Lin Chen asked Li Gang to inform Princess Nihuang.
At this time, Mei Changsu had met Emperor Liang.Emperor Liang checked whether there was Lin Shu's birthmark on his arms and neck, but found nothing.
In the East Palace, Lie Zhanying reported to the prince, but there was no news after Mei Changsu entered the Yangju Palace.The prince, Meng Zhi and Ni Huang were worried and puzzled as to what kind of medicine Emperor Liang was selling in his gourd.When everyone was at a loss what to do, Emperor Liang summoned Prince Jingyan to enter the palace.Jingyan ignored everyone's obstruction and decided to take the risk and enter the palace as usual, trying to find a way to protect Mei Changsu and Concubine Jing.Everyone agreed that if they did not come out at noon, they would rebel against Emperor Liang and enter the palace to save people.
Jingyan saw Mei Changsu in the Yangju Hall, but he couldn't ask him, so he had to stand aside.After Xia Jiang entered the palace, he immediately testified that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu, the son of the rebel Red Flame Army commander Lin Xie, the Red Feather Camp commander Lin Shu.Hearing this, Jingyan stared at Mei Changsu with wide eyes in disbelief, but Mei Changsu remained calm and unfazed.
Ni Huang, Meng Zhi, Lin Chen and others secretly gathered their troops and prepared for battle.Nihuang stared at the hourglass, feeling very worried.
Mei Changsu and Xia Jiang each held their own opinions and argued endlessly.When Emperor Liang mentioned the poison of fire and cold, he saw Jingyan's expression of surprise, which did not seem like he was faking it, so he thought he didn't know about it.Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Jiang burst into tears and advised Emperor Liang not to be deceived by them.He said that in the past two years, everything that happened had benefited Prince Jing, but both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu had suffered losses. After saying this, he asked Mei Changsu if he dared to let the imperial doctor check his pulse to confirm whether he was suffering from fire-cold poison.In response to Xia Jiang's accusation, Mei Changsu first mentioned the prince's role in protecting him in Jiu'an Mountain, saying that the prince did not take advantage of the good situation to seize power, which shows his loyalty.Then the conversation changed and he actually admitted that he was Lin Shu.
Emperor Liang stood up in excitement upon hearing this, and was about to speak, but Mei Changsu argued in a flawless manner: Assuming that he was Lin Shu, if Emperor Liang dealt with him, it would hurt the relationship between father and son, mess up the court situation, and instead allow Xia Jiang to achieve his goal.In fact, the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis alone could neither confirm nor disprove that he was Lin Shu. Xia Jiang's purpose was to plant a seed of doubt in Emperor Liang's heart, so as to alienate the relationship between the prince and the emperor, so that King Xian could benefit and he would be freed..
After several rounds of lobbying, Emperor Liang finally turned his suspicious eyes on Xia Jiang. He denounced Xia Jiang for sowing discord and handed Xia Jiang over to the prince.Jingyan was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for disposal according to law.
At this time, Xia Jiang angrily grabbed the knife and tried to kill Mei Changsu, but was subdued by Chai Dutong.When being dragged out of the palace, Xia Jiang, who knew Emperor Liang's character well, shouted: It is better to kill him by mistake than to release him by mistake.As expected, these words made Emperor Liang have murderous intentions and gave Mei Changsu poisonous wine.Jingyan stepped forward, poured out the poisonous wine slowly, and walked out of the Yangju Hall side by side with Mei Changsu.
Nihuang and others breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Mei Changsu had left the palace safely.At this time, Jingyan slowly walked towards Zhiluo Palace. Along the way, he recalled every detail of his relationship with Mei Changsu and knew that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu.
