Oh! My Emperor Season 2 Episode 10 Recap
> Oh! My Emperor Season 2 Recap
The Emperor, Beitang Yi, dismissed his attendants and then urgently commanded that Luo Feifei be summoned to the palace immediately for an important consultation. Upon her arrival, Luo Feifei, the Constellation Lord of Ophiuchus, greeted him, pointedly asking why she had been summoned so suddenly, as she had been having fun with Master Mei, who she now considered her best girlfriend.
Beitang Yi struggled to articulate the reason, which Luo Feifei quickly realized was merely a pretext for him to see her. Internally pleased, she boldly sat on his dragon desk and flirtatiously cast a book he was holding onto the floor. Beitang Yi exclaimed that it was Mr. Ouyang's last words and could not be treated so carelessly. Luo Feifei, suppressing her annoyance, persisted in her playful attempts to engage him.
Since he had interrupted her fun, she suggested they play cards. She proposed a game where the winner could draw a small turtle anywhere on the loser's body, emphasizing the "anywhere" part. Beitang Yi agreed to the terms. Meanwhile, in Qingxin Palace, palace maids discovered a black pearl while cleaning. Pharmacist Bilian covertly took the pearl, expressing surprise that it could be found there. Later, Beitang Yi won their card game, yet Luo Feifei was surprisingly happy for him.
She urged him to draw the turtle, again hinting that he could choose any part of her body. However, Beitang Yi, adhering to propriety, simply drew a turtle on her face. As night fell, a palace maid prepared to deliver a bowl of porridge, ordered by the Emperor for Luo Feifei. Bilian intercepted her, offering to deliver it herself since she was going to see His Majesty anyway.
Bilian secretly poisoned the porridge with the black pearl before returning it to the maid. When the maid brought the porridge to the Emperor's chambers, Luo Feifei tried to hide her turtle-drawn face with a playing card, but the maid glimpsed it and couldn't help but laugh, causing Luo Feifei to leave in a huff. Unbeknownst to them, the Emperor then took a bite of the contaminated porridge.
Later, Prince Chen and General Chu reported to Beitang Yi that new "crazies" had appeared in the city. They noted that these new infected individuals exhibited far greater speed and strength than the previous Ophiuchus crazies, and most alarmingly, no one knew how they were being infected. Prince Chen, known for his vast knowledge, recalled that the Chronicle of Xingyao mentioned people from the Orion State were skilled at using the Xun instrument to control human behavior.
Considering this alongside Beitang Tang's previous encounter where people were controlled by sound, Prince Chen suspected the Orion State was using Xun music in combination with medicine to create a new, widespread method of human-to-human infection. Prince Chen recalled Beitang Tang's account that those who had abducted Xifeng Lie had indeed used sound to control others.
Beitang Yi acknowledged the severity of the situation, ordering General Chu to immediately investigate and find the source of the infection to prevent further disaster. Separately, Yuanniang led Shang Yu into a room with several curtains, explaining that a beauty was behind each one. Shang Yu would answer three questions correctly, eliminating one hand each time, until only the best courtesan, Huakui Xian, remained.
Shang Yu correctly answered all three riddles, but to his dismay, the Huakui Xian revealed himself to be Su Xunxian. Back in the palace, as Beitang Yi continued to discuss the crazy epidemic with Prince Chen and General Chu, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and collapsed. Prince Chen quickly realized these were the early symptoms of the crazy disease.
Before losing full consciousness, Beitang Yi urgently instructed Prince Chen to tie him up to prevent him from harming others. Prince Chen, though distraught, complied. When Luo Feifei rushed in, she immediately used her powers to examine Beitang Yi, discovering the poison was deeply entrenched, and its power was something she struggled to counteract. Prince Chen then left to report to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager sent Bilian to attend to the Emperor.
Luo Feifei vehemently objected, refusing to let Bilian near Beitang Yi. She was well aware of Bilian's dubious medical skills and feared that any misstep would worsen the Emperor's condition. Bilian, however, haughtily brandished the Empress Dowager's decree to intimidate Luo Feifei and Beitang Tang. Beitang Tang, disgusted by Bilian's arrogance, unleashed his princely authority, warning her that he could execute her on the spot and bear the responsibility. Ultimately, Luo Feifei intervened, restraining Beitang Tang.
She reluctantly agreed to leave, but only on the strict condition that Bilian touch nothing except the cooling cloths for the Emperor. Bilian, dismissive, clearly had no intention of adhering to this. As Luo Feifei exited, she menacingly warned Bilian that if she dared to mess around, she would suffer a fate worse than death. Just then, Prince Chen returned, accompanied by Shang Yu and Chongchong, explaining that the rest of the Ophiuchus clan would arrive in another hour.
Luo Feifei noted she had already slowed the poison's spread and would use her powers again at the Taurus o'clock. She expressed concern over the growing number of infected servants in the palace and the chaos outside the city, recognizing the urgent need to find the source of the hidden infection. Shang Yu, at Luo Feifei's command, vowed to mobilize everyone, including birds and insects, to investigate. Chongchong offered to help too, knowing all the city's hidden passages. Luo Feifei instructed them to report any findings directly to her.
