Oh! My Emperor Season 2 Episode 5 Recap
> Oh! My Emperor Season 2 Recap
Upon witnessing Xifeng Lie's critical state, Luo Feifei immediately used her unique powers to heal him. After the strenuous effort, she was visibly weakened and almost fainted, prompting Xie Yanran to assist her back. Meanwhile, Prince Chen watched Luo Feifei with evident concern. Later, Beitang Yi reflected on the events that transpired in the Grand Empress Dowager's chambers.
He found it too coincidental that a child would accidentally knock over the box, allowing the poisonous insects to escape at such a crucial moment. Luo Feifei then sought out Prince Chen, who was overjoyed by her visit. He welcomed her warmly, urging her to take a seat and expressing concern for her well-being after her taxing healing of Xifeng Lie. He even offered to send tonics to her place.
Luo Feifei thanked him, but then directly confessed, "Your Highness, I am not into you." Prince Chen admitted he already knew this, yet he had believed that if he kept her by his side, her heart would eventually turn to him. Luo Feifei firmly shook her head, explaining that love cannot be gained through effort.
She further elaborated that this matter had been stalled for too long, and if she didn't make her feelings clear, she would feel "sick of myself." She admitted that the kinder he was to her, the more upset she became. Prince Chen responded with a bitter smile, acknowledging that he should have understood sooner, but letting go of feelings was far harder than understanding them.
Luo Feifei apologized, but Prince Chen gently told her there was no need, attributing it to his own unrequited love and stubbornness. Luo Feifei then made another request: she asked Prince Chen to speak with the Grand Empress Dowager about canceling their engagement. He refused, explaining that it was not the right time and would only provoke her. He promised that once the opportune moment arrived, he would certainly bring up the matter.
Luo Feifei repeatedly thanked him, calling him "so kind," before running off, leaving Prince Chen to ponder her words, acknowledging his kindness but questioning its utility. In the Grand Empress Dowager's chambers, she conversed with a small child who, shockingly, spoke with an adult's voice. This child was Wangyan. Unafraid of the Grand Empress Dowager, Wangyan provocatively stated, "Even though we did that, so what?" implying the Orion State's involvement.
The Grand Empress Dowager, grieving for her son, expressed disbelief that his death could be connected to the Orion State. Wangyan sternly reminded her of her true identity and the very purpose of her marriage into the Zodiac Kingdom, emphasizing that the Orion State, defeated ten years prior, could not afford another such outcome. Later, Luo Feifei and Xie Yanran, both thoroughly intoxicated, were in a pavilion, playfully comparing their hiccups.
Xie Yanran confessed her affection for Prince Chen stemmed from his handsomeness. Luo Feifei, to Xie Yanran's amusement, admitted her reason for liking the Emperor was his handsomeness too. When Xie Yanran pressed her on how the Emperor compared to Jiacheng, Luo Feifei unequivocally stated that the Emperor couldn't possibly compare.
She lauded Jiacheng as gentle, kind, considerate, and talented, unlike the "annoying Dragon Egg" (the Emperor), whom she comically imitated, describing him as looking like "the world owes him five billion." Unbeknownst to her, Beitang Yi, standing across the lake, was overhearing her every word. However, he did not hear her subsequent declaration that despite his flaws—his directness, dullness, old-man-like schedule—his "foolishness" was adorable, and she, Luo Feifei, proclaimed, "The emperor, is mine."
The two women, still inebriated, stumbled onto a bridge and nearly fell. Simultaneously, Beitang Yi and Prince Chen rushed forward. One man embraced Xie Yanran, while the other held Luo Feifei. Their expressions twisted in comical dissatisfaction, and with a swift pull, the two women swapped places, finally content. Each man then carried his preferred woman away. Beitang Yi, masked, carried Luo Feifei to an inn.
The innkeeper, recognizing Luo Feifei as the "female thief," secretly went to report them to the authorities. Beitang Yi settled Luo Feifei on the bed. Half-asleep, Luo Feifei requested water, and Beitang Yi dutifully fetched it for her. As she hummed a tune, he asked about the song. Luo Feifei again began to praise Jiacheng, referring to him as her "Mr. Mcdreamy" who was good-looking, talented, and handsome.
Upon hearing this, Beitang Yi abruptly kissed her, warning her never to mention other men in his presence, lest she be punished. Soon after, Sheng Nan arrived with imperial soldiers to search the inn. To her exasperation, she discovered that the "obscene male" described by the innkeeper was none other than the Emperor himself. The next morning, Xie Yanran burst into Luo Feifei's room, crying and vehemently blaming her.
It turned out the Grand Empress Dowager had summoned them to the Palace. Upon their arrival, the Grand Empress Dowager furiously scolded Luo Feifei for corrupting the Emperor, Prince Chen, and Xie Yanran, leading them to "stay up, booze around, and night out." She declared her intent to punish Luo Feifei. Unyielding, Luo Feifei offered to go to prison herself, claiming she knew the way and was familiar with the jailers. Knowing Luo Feifei's close ties with the prison guards, the Grand Empress Dowager instead decreed that Luo Feifei and Xie Yanran be sent to Bilian for punishment.
