> Oh! My Emperor Season 2 Recap
The poison in Bei Tangyi’s body began to recede, and it was discovered that Luo Feifei’s blood was responsible, as human blood is resistant to viruses. However, before anyone could celebrate, Bei Tangyi's condition worsened again. Chongchong explained that the small amount of blood was merely a temporary measure and not a true cure.
To save Bei Tangyi, Luo Feifei’s blood would need to be completely exchanged with his, a long-lost ancient method that Chongchong did not know how to perform. Luo Feifei immediately decided to find a way, instructing someone to summon Bai Wuchen, declaring she had a way to save Bei Tangyi (Dragon Egg). Prince Chen approached a wounded Luo Feifei, asking about her injury and suggesting she treat it.
Luo Feifei, anxious about Bei Tangyi, impatiently dismissed his concerns, telling him to leave her wound alone, a tone she did not realize hurt Prince Chen. Xie Yanran, observing from a distance, looked on sadly at Prince Chen. Luo Feifei then directly addressed Bai Wuchen, asking if his power was indeed energy transfer. Bai Wuchen confirmed his power, and Luo Feifei declared her intention to proceed with the blood exchange.
Prince Chen demanded to know her plan, which someone else quickly surmised was for her to exchange blood with Bei Tangyi. Everyone vehemently opposed, citing the risk and the lost nature of the technique. Luo Feifei, however, trusted Bai Wuchen and was resolute. Prince Chen insisted that he, as Bei Tangyi's uncle and subject, should take the risk instead, and Prince Tang also volunteered.
Luo Feifei firmly stated that only her special constitution would allow for the exchange without immediate grave danger, and even if she were affected, her clan members could help. She then ordered everyone except Bai Wuchen to leave the room.
Chongchong expressed deep concern, reminding Luo Feifei that with their grandfather gone, she was her only family, but Luo Feifei reassured her that she would be fine and urged them all to leave, asking if they wanted to save Bei Tangyi or not. Outside, Prince Chen received updates: Master Su had purchased all the medicine in Zodiac State and engaged hundreds of doctors to create antidotes, which Masters Shang and Xi had taken to the infected zone.
Master Fang was also leading the army to maintain order there. Despite being urged to wait, Prince Chen decided to go to the infected zone himself. Luo Feifei lay on the bed, her hands clasped with Bei Tangyi's, as Bai Wuchen began to perform the blood exchange. Despite the immense strain, Luo Feifei affirmed she could hold on, and the process continued.
Eventually, Bai Wuchen confirmed that the poison in Bei Tangyi's body had been neutralized and he needed careful rest. When asked about Luo Feifei, Bai Wuchen assured everyone that she was merely exhausted, having carried all the poison, but was otherwise fine and just needed rest. Prince Tang, relieved, then urged Bai Wuchen to rest as well.
Xie Yanran, who had waited anxiously for a day, finally felt relieved upon hearing the news, almost fainting from exhaustion before being supported by a servant. Before being taken home to rest, she specifically asked Prince Tang to inform Prince Chen that both Bei Tangyi and Luo Feifei were well, knowing that despite his calm demeanor, he was deeply worried. When Prince Chen arrived, he indeed breathed a sigh of relief upon learning they were both fine.
Prince Tang then mentioned Xie Yanran, explaining that she hadn't fully recovered from her previous illness but had stayed to wait for their healing before leaving. Just then, the Serpent Star people arrived, whom Prince Tang had arranged to treat the patients and check on Bei Tangyi and Luo Feifei. The next morning, Bei Tangyi awoke and immediately noticed Luo Feifei still unconscious beside him.
He urgently summoned a doctor, who, after examination, reported that Luo Feifei was simply suffering from extreme exhaustion and residual poison, but was otherwise not in serious danger, just needed rest. Meanwhile, star lords were waiting outside to see Bei Tangyi. He went out to meet them and received positive updates: the plague had been controlled in the city's affected zones, the cure distributed, and the disease of madness outside the city was also under control.
Master Fang was investigating the source of the disease, which some suspected was intentionally caused. However, the star lords noted that despite being out of danger, many citizens were still displaced. They urged Bei Tangyi to convene an emergency meeting with all star lords. Xie Yanran volunteered to stay and look after Luo Feifei. While attending to Luo Feifei, Xie Yanran discovered that Luo Feifei was feigning unconsciousness.
After threatening the servants to ensure privacy, Luo Feifei revealed her discomfort with the constant "care" and her true motive: she wanted Xie Yanran's help to trick Bei Tangyi into coming to her and expressing his affections more directly. She desired simple declarations like "I like you" or "I love you," rather than poetic phrases. Xie Yanran agreed to help, having methods to make a man speak romantically.
She then confided in Luo Feifei her own decision: she had realized her unrequited feelings for Prince Chen were solely her own and that he had always treated her like a sister. Feeling exhausted by this, Xie Yanran planned to leave in a couple of days to explore the outside world, hoping to shed her identity as a lady and find her true self.
Luo Feifei grew teary-eyed, sad to see her leave, but Xie Yanran promised to help her with everything before she went, calling her her best sister and promising to return. The severe plague of madness that had swept through the Zodiac State was finally brought under control. It was largely acknowledged that the cure was found thanks to Luo Feifei, who had risked her life to save the emperor and deterred the dangerous spread of the disease.
Furthermore, the emperor's own recovery was a direct result of Luo Feifei exchanging her blood with him. Many recognized her as their savior, despite her often childish and illogical behavior. Xi Fenglie confirmed that his own lingering effects from the disease were now gone, crediting Luo Feifei. As Luo Feifei remained unconscious due to exhaustion, Bei Tangyi immediately ordered Master Mei Daren to procure precious ginseng and glossy ganoderma from the national treasury for her recovery.
Mei Daren, despite lamenting the state's empty coffers and even complaining about Bei Tangyi trying to extract money from him as the third wealthiest man, begrudgingly agreed, urged by Bei Tangyi who declared that Luo Feifei, as their savior, deserved all possible efforts for her recovery, regardless of cost.
