The Remarried Empress Episode 5 Recap
Episode 5 of The Remarried Empress starts off with Heinrey meeting the person whom he thinks has been sending him letters all this while. However, there is a twist in store for him as Rashta declares herself to be his pen pal. She is even aware of the existence of the bird Queen, thus making her story very believable. Navier is a witness to the entire event but does not disclose any information; instead, Heinrey continues playing along and presents Rashta with a rose. This is a rather intriguing plot point since it shows that someone has managed to acquire some confidential information that should have only been known to Navier and Heinrey.
It appears that Rashta relishes all the attention she is receiving, and she even uses her supposed friendship with Heinrey as an opportunity to make Sovieshu feel bad. When she is questioned about her correspondence with the prince, she portrays herself as just another person who is lonely and seeks companionship. She also says that Heinrey can take her to the banquets that are scheduled to take place because Sovieshu may not be around to take her there. However, Heinrey himself has no interest in building a friendship with her.
It gets especially entertaining during the next banquet when Heinrey challenges Rashta’s statements. Instead of telling the truth, she takes it to another level by saying that Heinrey would never be friends with someone whose parentage is not nobility. Of course, Sovieshu comes to her defence, and the two get into an argument that ends up becoming a duel. The most important thing about this whole scene is the fact that Navier reacts to it. While Heinrey and Rashta almost make the argument become a very serious political situation, Navier uses a fireplace poker and stops them. She tells them that what they are doing can cost thousands of lives.
After the party, Navier addresses Sovieshu regarding the necklace that Rashta claimed had been gifted to her. Sovieshu confesses that he was the person behind sending her the gift under the name of Navier, which has left her frustrated. Navier requests him to apologise for the mistake as well as refute any rumours surrounding it, but it only serves as yet another example of how he fails to show the right respect towards her. However, Navier comes to know that it was Annie, who worked as a maid of Rashta, who leaked the confidential letters.
The Remarried Empress episode 5 then gives us sweet development that takes place during the treasure hunt scene where Heinrey succeeds in becoming Navier’s partner, and the two finally get a chance to spend some quality time with each other without the presence of people who constantly stare at them at the royal court. He gifts her one feather of the Queen so that she can use it to secure her scarf and tells her that he realised that she was his correspondent since the very first day that he met her.
This conversation becomes all the more personal when Heinrey proposes that they should carry on with their friendship not only via their letters but through actual interactions as well. This can be seen in the form of the hot air balloon ride that he organises for Navier, who has wished to fly just like Queen.
The Remarried Empress Episode 6 Recap
Episode 6 of The Remarried Empress, Navier begins by talking to Princess Circe about the imminent coronation ceremony that will make her the first single queen. Her crown, however, is at risk due to the challenges that her uncles are putting in her path. Navier comes up with an idea to solve her problem by sending her uncle’s son to act as her envoy and thus ensure that she is safe from any attempt to challenge her. I enjoyed this part where we get to see another side of Navier’s political mind at work.
Afterwards, Heinrey pays Navier a visit and requests a tour of the palace. At the same time, Heinrey reminds Navier of her upcoming birthday and asks whether he may arrange a little dinner for her. Navier agrees, but the plans did not last long, as Sovieshu has sent a message stating his wish to spend her birthday with her in the imperial villa, as per Marquess Lante’s suggestion. Navier agreed since she felt it was crucial for the sake of appearances. However, when the Queen delivers the news that Heinrey has arrived, Navier has to give up on those plans.
On the other hand, Rashta wishes to go with Sovieshu and Navier to the villa, but the emperor is unwilling to allow her to go. In the process, Navier and Sovieshu reminisce about things that happened when they were younger. The flashback shows how they once stopped at the edge of a stream because Sovieshu was feeling ill while riding in the carriage. Navier assisted him by offering him a leaf to chew, and they planted an orange tree and an apple tree for them to identify the place. Seeing the way in which the trees have grown makes the couple nostalgic. Sovieshu even admits that he ensured that the trees have been well cared for all these years.
But things get uglier for her as soon as she gets back to the palace, since she receives a visit from someone unexpected. This person is Viscount Lotteshu, who was her master once before, and he is visiting her to discuss something very personal that has been hidden deep inside her past. Namely, she has given birth to a little boy before abandoning him, and Viscount Lotteshu threatens her by stating that he has killed that boy. She retorts to him and tells him that she does not know anything about that since her son is still alive and that he is actually her grandson.
Sovieshu discovers that Rashta is sick at the villa and feels worried about her health. Nevertheless, he continues to spend time with Navier, and she prepares them a meal. He praises her and plans to take her to an observatory close by, since he knows that she likes it. He even gives her a necklace with yellow gems on her birthday. But their romantic meeting ends painfully after he unintentionally calls her Rashta while kissing her. Navier becomes disappointed and rides away on her horse.
Sovieshu gets information that Rashta’s health condition has gotten worse and returns to the palace immediately, leaving Navier to go alone. When he reaches the palace, he discovers from the imperial physician that Rashta is expecting a baby. Heinrey and Navier are informed of the news, and the emperor tells his wife about it and asks her to raise Rashta’s allowance. At the end of The Remarried Empress episode 6, Heinrey tries to console Navier, but a strange man in a black cloak comes into the room and starts trying to stab Heinrey with his sword.
The Remarried Empress Episode 5-6 Review
Finally, in The Remarried Empress Ep 5, the link between Navier and Heinrey is stepping out of the world of letters, and we can begin witnessing the start of an affair that may finally give Navier the joy she needs. It all starts with Heinrey acknowledging her as his letter writer, to even making plans for a hot air balloon ride just to make her happy; these two are gradually turning out to be the centre of the drama. In addition, Rashta’s little charade of being Heinrey’s letter writer is getting hard to overlook, and we cannot wait to see her come undone.
In other cases, Sovieshu keeps making things tough for Navier. The Remarried Empress Ep 6 provides yet another sad reminder of why the marriage between the two is crumbling. In a time when we hoped his birthday celebrations would somehow pull the two together, he went ahead and spoiled the mood by calling Navier “Rashta.” Now that Rashta is pregnant, the situation promises to be more complex for the empress. This is an area that we are very curious to see how Navier manages himself.
Furthermore, we can also see that Rashta’s history is slowly catching up with her because of Viscount Lotteshu, who has arrived to tell the truth regarding her child. There is a very interesting conflict for her, and it is interesting for us to see how she will handle a person who knows everything about her. On the other hand, the unexpected attack on Heinrey in The Remarried Empress K-drama has given us another reason to wait for the next part. With the developing relationship between Heinrey and Navier, we definitely do not want anything to happen to him.
Overall, these two episodes of the Korean drama The Remarried Empress make the story a lot more interesting, with the combination of romance, secrets, royal drama, and threats. Now, we can’t wait to find out what Navier is going to do next, how Heinrey will manage to survive the attack, and whether Sovieshu will take some actions that will ruin their marriage once and for all.
