Poison of the Bitter Flame

**Poison of the Bitter Flame** is a poison contracted through severe burns and/or the venom of the snow beetles at Meiling.

## Cause

Snow beetles at Meiling alone cannot cause this illness, contrary to what some English translations may say. Instead, once the victim is severely burned and fall into a snow pit, the snow beetles heal their burns(and save their life) but transfer the poison to them. It is unclear whether you can contract it just by beetle bites.

## Symptoms

Symptoms before treatment include; growing white hair all over their body, being unable to talk in a human way, and the desire to drink blood (the best of which being human blood).

Symptoms after treatment depend on what the victim is exposed to. The cold, high emotion, and too much physical strain all cause different symptoms. Common symptoms include coughing [blood], headaches, fever, loss of consciousness, fatigue, and more.

## Treatment

Method one: Peeling off the skin and scraping the poison off of the bone of the victim. This method is incredibly painful and leaves the victim bedridden for at least a year before their body heals. Even though they have no more white hair, can talk normally, and don't need to drink blood anymore, the "cold (寒)" part of the poison will often reappear, causing a lot of different symptoms. They also lose their strength completely.

Method two: Around the same way the first method uses, except it doesn't harm the victim from the inside. They retain some white hair and they can't talk in the way they did before, but they no longer need to drink blood. Using this method also grants the victim their strength back. The will also live to the same age as a normal person.

Method three: Using the Bing Xu Grass pills and drinking ten healthy peoples' blood. Can grant them a full recovery without symptoms, but sacrifices their human emotion, causing them to be cold and emotionless. [*citation needed*]

* Mei Changsu
* Nie Feng
* Unnamed victim from 100 years ago, treated with Bingxu Grass

**Jingyun** was the era name for the Emperor preceding Xiao Xuan.

## Known Events

* Year 26: Xiao Xuan was accused of a crime by the Emperor. Lin Xie found evidence of Xiao Xuan's innocence and saved his life.
* Year 29: The Struggle of the Five Princes occurred. Lin Xie led an army to defeat the Imperial Guard and put Xiao Xuan on the throne.
Grand Princess Liyang

**Grand Princess Liyang** was the daughter of the Empress Dowager and a previous Emperor of Da Liang. She had a love affair with Yuwen Lin, a prince of Southern Chu who had been held as a hostage in Da Liang, and became pregnant. Her mother conspired to drug her with Qing Si Rao and have her be raped by Xie Yu so that Xie Yu would marry her. Liyang gave birth on Mount Rui and was there with Madam Zhuo, as they both gave birth at the same time. At the order of Xie Yu, Gong Yu's father assassinated the Zhuo baby. This was not known at the time and it seemed only as if there was a child who survived and it was not known whose child it was. The child was therefore named Xiao Jingrui, using the Imperial naming standard as if he were a son of the Emperor Xiao Xuan. Liyang realized her husband wanted to kill her son and kept Jingrui close by her for the early years of his life so that Xie Yu could not kill Jingrui.

Liyang had two children with Xie Yu: Xie Bi and Xie Qi.

Liyang presented Xie Yu's confession to the Imperial court at The Emperor's Birthday Party to reopen the Chiyan case.

Gong Yu's father instead killed the son of Madam Zhuo and Zhuo Dingfeng and for that failure, Xie Yu killed him. Gong Yu's mother was part of the Hua kingdom. Gong Yu works for Mei Changsu to get justice for her father and then offers herself to the Zhuos for their justice for her father's crimes. Gong Yu also participates in saving Wei Zheng and in fighting against Prince Yu's rebellion.

## Personality/Relationships

She is a kindhearted and strong girl. She is very talented at music, as many love to go to the Miaoyin Court to listen to her play.

### Mei Changsu

She may or may not have a crush on Mei Changsu, but it is evident that she deeply cares for him. For example, she sneaks out of the Miaoyin Court to speak to Mei Changsu, even though it was very dangerous. Just before Prince Yu's Rebellion, she is seen standing next to Mei Changsu's tent, standing guard.

## Notable Events

Xia Dong

**Xia Dong** is an officer of the Xuanjing Bureau and a student of Xia Jiang, the director of the Bureau. She was married to Nie Feng, an officer in the Chiyan Army. She believed in the Chiyan Conspiracy and so had a stilted relationship with Mu Nihuang because of Nihuang's faith in Lin Shu. She was not on speaking terms with Xiao Jingyan because Jingyan publicly insisted on the Chiyan Army's innocence.

However, after hearing Xie Yu's confession that the letter Nie Feng had "sent" claiming the Chiyan Army had committed treason was in fact a forgery, she began to assist Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan in clearing the Chiyan Army's name. She assisted in freeing Wei Zheng and claimed full responsibility for the rescue to the Emperor.

The Crown Prince gives Mei Changsu a token so he can get into the palace, which Mei Changsu demurs and gives to Fei Liu.
* Mei Changsu, Fei Liu, Yan Yujin, and Xiao Jingrui go to see the Grand Empress. The Grand Empress recognizes Mei Changsu as being Lin Shu and asks him when he and Mu Nihuang, who was betrothed to him as a child, will be getting married. Due to the Grand Empress's age-related memory problems, no one takes the recognition seriously.
* After the audience, Mei Changsu and Mu Nihuang walk through the grounds together and see Tingsheng being beaten by a eunuch.

Miaoyin Court stopped being used as the contact location during the mourning for the Grand Empress, because no musical performances could be given during the mourning period. The contact location changed to a music store.
