Destiny of Love Episode 15 Recap
> Destiny of Love Recap
Ever since Ji Mo learned that A Li Ya was a princess from the Xilin Kingdom, he deliberately kept his distance. But A Li Ya remained clueless, thinking Ji Mo’s phobia of women hadn’t been cured and did everything she could to help him. Qiao Manman wanted to use the birthday celebration to reunite Fu Chengjin with his mother. After finding out where the Empress lived, she made her way through layers of palace gates into the deep palace.
The courtyard was sparsely populated. Qiao Manman searched several areas before finally seeing a woman planting vegetables. Thinking she was a maid, Qiao Manman asked her where the Empress was. The woman stood up at the sound and asked who Qiao Manman was. Qiao Manman introduced herself, and upon hearing she was Princess Jing, the woman became visibly emotional. Qiao Manman noticed her graceful demeanor and noble bearing and assumed she must be the Empress.
Though the Empress hid her true identity, she was eager to hear about Fu Chengjin. Qiao Manman thought that only by making the Empress worry about her son could she be moved to leave the deep palace. So she deliberately said that life in the prince's manor had been unstable lately and hoped the Empress could come forward to support Fu Chengjin, who missed his mother deeply. Qiao Manman’s words moved the Empress.
On the day of the celebration, the Empress truly appeared. The moment Fu Chengjin saw his mother, his eyes turned red. The Empress stood beside the Emperor, receiving the court’s homage. Over a decade ago, rumors in the harem claimed Fu Chengjin was not the Emperor’s biological son. The Empress was framed and suffered greatly, unable to defend herself.
Although a blood test later proved Fu Chengjin carried the imperial bloodline, the Emperor’s indifference had deeply wounded her, leading her to retreat into the inner palace and never step out again. At the celebration, the Empress deliberately mentioned how someone kept framing Prince Jing’s manor. The Emperor was surprised and began paying more attention to the prince's household. After the celebration, the Emperor encouraged the Empress to leave the inner palace and live a peaceful life with him.
Now that Fu Chengjin had grown up and married, they might soon have a grandchild. But the Empress, with a cold heart, still firmly refused. It was raining heavily. Fu Chengjin held an umbrella, following behind the Empress. After more than ten years, he finally reunited with his mother. His heart was overwhelmed with emotion, and he couldn’t bear to leave even after she went inside. Jiutian asked if he wanted to go in and see the Empress.
Fu Chengjin shook his head. The front court was still full of strife, and his manor faced hidden dangers. It was too risky for his mother to come out now. He was willing to bear the pain alone as long as she was safe. In fact, for the Emperor’s birthday, Fu Yunnuo had hidden assassins inside the gift Fu Chengjin prepared for the Emperor.
Fortunately, Fu Chengjin discovered it in time, killed all the assassins in the chest, and replaced the performance with "Magu Offering Longevity. " So when the chest was opened at the celebration, Fu Yunnuo reflexively issued a warning about assassins. But instead, a fairy-like “Magu” slowly emerged with a peach of longevity, and the Emperor, unaware of what had happened, thought it was just a false alarm.
Qiao Manman solemnly met with Fu Yunnuo, warning him not to play such tricks again. But Fu Yunnuo said that even as a child, he understood that if he couldn’t achieve glory and success, he’d always have to live under others. He didn’t want to be a prince for life. Despite Fu Chengjin's patience and even planning to escape the palace, Fu Yunnuo still refused to back down, determined to fight to the bitter end.
