Oh My Lord Episode 6 Recap
> Oh My Lord Recap
Madam De, anticipating the unveiling of the twin lotus flowers, recited a poem about their beauty and urged Bai Li to reveal them. To her surprise, Bai Li presented a tank filled with Koi fish, a solution devised by Chen Youyou to mitigate the earlier damage to the real lotus flowers. Her attendants were indignant, demanding to know why there were fish instead of the promised lotus flowers.
However, Bai Li calmly explained that while real flowers wither, he had prepared "never-withering twin lotus flowers" which symbolized eternal beauty. He described how the green leaves and Koi fish in the tank represented auspiciousness and would bring spiritual energy to the imperial palace. He further suggested that Madam De could personally cultivate real twin lotus flower seeds to show her devotion to the late castellan, implying that her sincere effort would yield results.
Madam De was greatly pleased by this ingenuity and accepted his explanation, ordering him to fill the palace grounds with these unique lotus tanks for the upcoming beam raising ceremony. Meanwhile, Lord Xian was enraged that Bai Li had so easily appeased Madam De with a few fish tanks. He sent his butler to Chen Youyou, issuing a grave threat: if Bai Li attended Madam De's imperial palace the next day, Chen Pingzhi's life would be forfeit.
Chen Youyou was distressed, realizing she needed to prevent Bai Li from appearing at the ceremony. Soon after, Jiang Bihan approached Chen Youyou, offering flower tea. Chen Youyou, weary from the lotus ordeal, politely declined, citing a weak stomach. Jiang Bihan expressed disappointment, mentioning that Bai Li had also refused her soup noodles that morning, and wondered if she had done something wrong. Chen Youyou reassured her that Bai Li simply didn't want her to overwork.
Taking the opportunity, Chen Youyou then flattered Jiang Bihan and inquired about Bai Li's preferences. Jiang Bihan claimed that Bai Li particularly enjoyed drinking liquor. Chen Youyou, with her maid, cleverly deduced that Jiang Bihan was likely saying the opposite, meaning Bai Li probably had a low tolerance for alcohol. This gave Chen Youyou an idea to get him drunk.
Later that evening, Bai Li found a note inviting him to a small gathering in the courtyard to apologize for recent troubles. He arrived at the Wind Booth to find Chen Youyou had prepared roasted meat and wine. She toasted him, announcing that it was their "100th-day wedding anniversary," a fact that surprised Bai Li. She then presented him with a handmade gift, a soft, furry object, claiming it was for comfort and cleaning.
Just as she explained its uses, a servant rushed in with alarming news: Bai Li's beloved Ferghana horses had inexplicably gone bald. Bai Li, distraught, immediately left to investigate. Chen Youyou quickly brought him back, insisting they continue their celebration. She enthusiastically explained her unique method of roasting meat on a stone slab. As she plied him with wine, toasting to his success and future endeavors, Bai Li happily drank. Chen Youyou, however, became increasingly intoxicated.
She openly admired Bai Li's handsome appearance and tried to demonstrate a "proper" way to eat the roasted meat. Ultimately, Chen Youyou herself became completely drunk. Swaying unsteadily, Chen Youyou stumbled and fell into Bai Li's arms. She tearfully apologized for causing him trouble, claiming it wasn't intentional. Bai Li, misunderstanding her distress, thought she was still upset about the twin lotus flowers and gently assured her he didn't blame her.
Chen Youyou then poured out her frustrations, recounting past instances where she felt mistreated by him, including being shot with arrows and poisoned. Deeply moved, Bai Li promised to change and allow her to "be herself" in his presence. Drunkenly, Chen Youyou demanded that he confess his feelings and declare her as his. She then forcibly kissed him, and afterward, playfully slapped him, declaring it as "repayment" for his past advances.
Despite her erratic behavior, Bai Li was captivated and passionately kissed her back, lost in the moment. Unbeknownst to them, Jiang Bihan happened to pass by, witnessing their intimate embrace, and fled in jealousy. This drunken outburst also inadvertently exposed Chen Youyou's identity as Lord Xian's spy to Bai Li. Shortly after, Gu Tianhe, returning from tending to the bald horses, encountered Lord Xian's butler acting suspiciously at the back gate. The butler dropped a box and quickly vanished.
Gu Tianhe brought the box to Bai Li. Upon hearing "Lord Xian's butler," Chen Youyou instinctively grabbed the box. Inside, she found only an apple core, a stark reminder of Lord Xian's threat against her father, Chen Pingzhi. She burst into tears, realizing her attempt to incapacitate Bai Li had failed. In her drunken state, she begged Bai Li to drink more, believing it would somehow "save the apple," and by extension, her father.
The next morning, Xiao Tiao woke Chen Youyou, who realized with a jolt that it was already 9:00 AM and she had failed to complete Lord Xian's task. Xiao Tiao mentioned that Bai Li had looked quite angry when he carried Chen Youyou back the previous night. Panicked, Chen Youyou rushed to Bai Li's room, desperately searching for a solution. She discovered a Secret Letter on his bed.
She considered taking the letter to Lord Xian, hoping it would appease him and buy her father some time, believing Bai Li would understand the dire circumstances. Bai Li and Gu Tianhe observed Chen Youyou as she made her way to Lord Xian's Palace, further confirming their suspicions of her being a spy.
Gu Tianhe urged Bai Li to take action against her, but Bai Li, despite his shock at her betrayal, realized his deep feelings for her prevented him from harming her, resolving instead to secretly protect her. To their confusion, Chen Youyou hesitated outside the palace gates, pacing back and forth but not entering. Torn by her conscience, Chen Youyou ultimately decided not to betray Bai Li and returned the Secret Letter.
Desperate, she then secretly sought out Lord Xian to plead for an alternative way to save Chen Pingzhi. Lord Xian, threatening to "mince" Chen Pingzhi, forced Chen Youyou to agree to sabotage Bai Li's renovation project within three days, ensuring he would not complete the imperial palace on schedule.
