Lost You Forever (2023) s01e15 Episode Script

1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
If I had kept my promise
to pick Xiaoyao up at Mount Jade,
she wouldn't have gone missing.
It was my fault.
Back then, you were young
and could barely protect yourself.
Even if you were there,
Queen Mother wouldn't have
let you take Xiaoyao away.
Xiaoyao will understand your difficulties.
If I use that as an excuse,
will it not be seen as a betrayal?
Xiaoyao has been outstanding
since childhood,
leading in cultivation among her peers.
However, now her spirit power is so weak.
She can hardly protect herself.
What has she gone through these years?
Her spirit power was abated.
Xiaoyao waited for me
in Mount Jade for 70 years,
but I didn't go pick her up.
When she suffered
and wandered around in Dahuang,
I did nothing for her.
No wonder she refuses to recognize me.
Xiaoyao has already done that
in her heart.
Yes.
Xiaoyao saved me twice.
No matter what she's now,
she's still Xiaoyao.
So much money.
-I've never seen so much money.
-Me neither.
-My goodness.
-I know, right?
To be honest,
I've never seen so much money either.
What do you like?
I like money.
I wish I could roll
on a mountain of money.
He really gave me a mountain of gold.
Well,
I have to try rolling
on a mountain of gold.
How is it?
It hurts.
Now I know what it feels like
to roll on a mountain of gold.
This was sent by His Highness.
He asked me to tell you
these mulberries are from Zhaoyun Peak.
Where is he?
He has been in a bad mood lately.
I don't know where he is now.
Right.
He wants me to tell you this.
If you feel bored, go to Yiqing Garden.
Watch your step.
YIQING GARDEN
If you're tired, I can carry you.
No, I'm fine sitting here for a while.
The melons are really delicious.
If you don't come up,
I'm going to eat them all.
Mother, I want to eat too.
-Give me some.
-Slow down.
It's yummy.
I want more.
It's so delicious.
It's so delicious.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
The weather is too hot.
It would be nice
to have some ice-cold melons now.
I'll go get it for you.
No need.
I was just saying.
I'll be right back.
It has been 300 years.
Its owner has changed.
Even if it's the same garden,
the scenery will be different now.
On such a hot day,
it's best to cool down in Yiqing Garden.
It's a pity that my mother won't go out.
Everyone knows
that His Majesty has only one wife
and favors only your mother.
Her Highness is afraid
His Majesty will visit her later.
Why
Why are you here?
Why
Why can't I be here?
This is my home.
You lowly person can't be here.
Somebody, arrest him.
Let's return to Hanzhang Hall.
Be gentle, ladies.
Do you know your mistake?
You finally fell into my hands.
Xuan said you saved his life,
so I won't take your life.
However, you can't escape punishment.
That day
That day
I must have my revenge.
What happened that day?
You have to make it clear.
Hold out his hands.
Hit his hands.
Your back is soft and fragrant.
Even if my hands are broken,
it's still worth it to touch it once.
Shut up.
Shut his mouth up.
Ever since I touched your back,
I've been thinking about it.
Your Highness.
Let
Your Highness,
he has a grudge against you,
so he says that to infuriate you
and ruin your reputation.
If you take it seriously,
you will fall for his tricks.
Your Highness, don't be mad.
It's really hateful.
Haoling values etiquette,
but he deliberately said so
to slander you.
He deserves severe punishment.
Yes, just kill him.
It doesn't matter
even if Prince Cangxuan blames you.
He's a prince of Xiyan,
not of Haoling.
He's just living here,
relying on His Majesty.
Why should you care?
Do it.
Hit his hands first and then his mouth.
I'll take responsibility if he dies.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Mr. Xiang, the supplies
have been delivered.
However, we're short of money now.
The grain we purchased
will be used up before next spring.
I'll think of a way.
Mr. Xiang.
The accounts are good.
You may go.
Yes.
Tushan Jing is really useless.
You lowly man,
how dare you offend the princess.
Hit him to death.
You can't enter
without the princess's permission.
Go and inform His Majesty.
Yes.
Mother, why are you here?
Stop.
CONSORT JING'AN
I care
the most
about you.
I promise
I'll be back soon.
Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
Catch this lowly man.
Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
Why did you abandon me?
Why did you do so, Mother?
Mother.
Mother.
Why did you abandon me?
Why did you do so, Mother?
Why did you abandon me?
Why did you do so, Mother?
Go away!
Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao, she's not.
She's not your mother, Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao, she's not your mother.
-He
-Nian.
Take your mother to her room.
Xiaoyao.
Listen to me.
Mother.
Xiaoyao.
Listen to me, Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao.
She's not your mother.
Mother.
She's my mother.
She's my mother, Cangxuan.
I want to ask her
I want to ask her why she abandoned me.
Is it because I'm not good enough?
As long as she comes back,
I'll be good.
Go and tell her.
Xiaoyao, I'm Cangxuan.
She's not your mother.
Your mother died in battle.
She's Consort Jing'an.
She just looks like your mother.
My mother promised me.
She said she would be back.
She promised me,
but she didn't return.
I don't blame her.
I just want to ask her
why she abandoned me.
Why did she abandon me?
Why?
Why?
Why did she abandon me?
Why did she do so?
Cangxuan.
Mother, I must find out who he is.
Why did Xuan and Father
treat him like that?
No way. I need to figure it out.
Your Highness.
His Majesty ordered us to leave.
If you go back,
I'm afraid His Majesty will be mad.
Your Majesty.
It's just an external injury.
It will be fine soon.
You've already acknowledged me
as your brother.
You can't deny it now.
Xiaoyao.
Nobody has called me that
in many years.
Xiaoyao.
I'm Cangxuan.
Cangxuan.
I'm back.
You deliberately angered Nian
to punish you
because you wanted
to see my reaction, right?
I'm here now.
Why are you quiet?
Over the past 300 years,
I have been thinking
about what to say when I find you.
At first,
I wanted to tell you a story
to make you happy.
Then
I thought about how to enlighten you.
Later,
I wanted to hear you talk.
I wanted to know what you have become.
As time went on,
I kept remembering you as a child,
calling me
father.
In the end, I realized
as long as you're alive,
nothing else matters.
Xiaoyao.
Father.
Father.
Father, perform magic.
All right.
A little tiger
and a little eagle.
It's so much fun.
They said
They said you abandoned me.
Why didn't you pick me up in Mount Jade?
I didn't pick you up
because your five uncles rebelled.
There were countless accidents
in the palace.
I was afraid you would get hurt,
so I thought Queen Mother
could take care of you
and I would find you
after I quelled the rebellion.
However, I didn't expect you
to leave Mount Jade.
If I had known this,
I would rather keep you
by my side.
So are you
Are you still my father?
Yes, I am.
Even if you refuse to call me that,
I'll always be your father.
Father.
Father.
I'm sorry.
I lost my daughter
who loved to smile.
Father.
All right.
Don't cry.
All right. Stop crying.
I
I didn't know
how to tell you.
He's from the Tushan family.
He has a keen mind.
Even if he didn't think of it at first,
he could guess your identity soon after.
Tushan Jing?
Yes.
I remember you and Fangfeng Yiying
had an engagement.
Did I remember that wrong?
No.
Do you mean you have no engagement
or I didn't remember that wrong?
Well,
you didn't remember it wrong.
Father.
I'm living where your mother used to live.
If you want to live there,
you can move in
after the maids tidy it up.
I'll move back to where I used to live.
Or you can choose other palaces.
No.
I'll stay in Huayin Hall
so that I can
I can talk to Cangxuan.
I also want to live with you,
but when you appear as a girl,
living with me in the same palace
might be inappropriate.
Live here for now.
After I announce your return,
you can move there.
Thank you, Master.
By the way,
he's the Jasper Mulberry
that you used to water with wine.
So it's you.
Congratulations.
You've already become a man.
Your Highness.
It was my fault.
I was so stupid
that I couldn't recognize you.
Stop crying.
Since you know your mistake,
I must punish you.
I deserve it.
Grow mulberries every year
to brew wine for me.
Your Highness.
I've kept a lot of good mulberries.
They are all for you.
Well,
I'm not smart and I failed
to recognize you.
However,
-back then
-Enough.
The food is getting cold.
Let's eat first.
I'll take my leave.
I can take care of her.
Here.
Have some meat.
How does it taste?
I can't believe
you can take care of people.
I once served anonymously
in the army for ten years.
There are no servants in the army.
Soldiers take care of each other.
I fed others and others fed me.
No wonder
You experienced so much.
No wonder you carry
the vibe of common folk.
My master and grandfather
asked me to gain more experience.
Anyway, I had nothing else to do,
so I did it.
Have some vegetables.
Do you want some?
If you want more, I can give you my share.
I don't.
Luckily,
Master tolerated your behavior.
Send it to Mount Jade and Mount Xiyan.
Yes.
Heng,
our daughter has come back home.
I finally heard her
call me father again.
What should I call you now?
My father is King of Haoling
and my mother is Princess General.
My name is Haoling Jiuyao.
I have a peach blossom birthmark
on my forehead,
so my parents also call me Xiaoyao.
It means vitality and prosperity.
However, you can still call me Xiaoliu.
I know no matter who you are now,
you won't change.
But
But what? Are you scared?
I've always been very scared.
When desires arise,
worries naturally follow.
When affection arises,
fears naturally follow.
It's normal.
I don't get it.
This is the wine I brewed 200 years ago.
There are only two bottles of it left.
I've been keeping them.
Good wine.
Xiaoyao.
There are only the three of us here.
I want to know what happened
after you left Mount Jade.
It's all right
if you don't want to talk about it.
I have to tell it anyway,
but I'll only say it once.
If my father and grandfather
ask about it,
you can tell them for me.
All right.
I left Mount Jade
with two maids of Haoling
and planned to go back
to Mount Wushen to find my father.
Her parents have already divorced.
She's not a princess of Haoling anymore.
Doesn't she feel embarrassed
to return to Mount Wushen?
I heard
her mother had an affair with another man,
so His Majesty dumped her.
His Majesty showed mercy to her
and let her live.
She even asked us
to tell His Majesty that she misses him,
asking His Majesty to take her home.
That's ridiculous.
Think about it.
If His Majesty really cares about her,
will he let her wait
for 70 years in Mount Jade?
Nonsense! They're unforgivable.
Cangxuan.
My father has already punished them.
It's all right now.
Then I went to Jizhou
because they said
my mother died there in the battle.
She promised me that she would come back,
so I didn't believe
she would leave me heartlessly.
I went through hardship
to reach Jizhou,
but I still couldn't find my mother.
I didn't know where to go,
so I wandered around Dahuang.
Back then, the Central Plains
were in constant strife.
It was very unstable.
The notice says
the princess of Haoling is missing.
King of Haoling and King of Xiyan
are searching everywhere.
Any information provider will be rewarded.
She's the most valuable in Dahuang.
If someone gets her,
he will make a fortune.
NOTICE
You mortals are short-sighted.
What's the use of money?
I heard that this little girl has lived
in Mount Jade for 70 years.
She's the only disciple of Queen Mother.
She was fed
with immortal peaches and chalcedony.
Her body is full of spiritual energy.
If someone eats her,
his cultivation will be improved greatly.
Move.
I only have this.
It's enough for today's meal.
Stand up, all of you.
None of you can run.
Whoever runs, I'll eat him.
If only I had no birthmark.
Lift your head.
If I had freckles on my face,
a flat nose,
and smaller eyes,
he wouldn't recognize me.
What bad luck.
Although I didn't know why,
I could change not only my appearance
but also my gender.
I started to wander around
with various faces.
I'll never fear being recognized.
One day, while looking in the mirror,
I suddenly realized
I had forgotten what I looked like.
I couldn't change back.
A faceless monster!
No, I'm not a faceless monster.
I'm not a monster.
My face was always changing
and every face was fake.
No matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't find my old face.
Later, I realized
it wasn't that I learned
the illusion technique on my own.
The truth was
I got an incurable strange disease.
Xiaoyao.
Any disease can be cured.
No matter how strange the disease,
there's always a cure.
What happened later?
As my face kept changing,
I didn't dare to see anyone.
I hid in the mountains and forests.
Thanks to Queen Mother's strict guidance,
my cultivation was not bad.
Those ordinary fierce beasts
weren't my match.
I was quite free and easy
in the mountains.
I just felt a little bored
as I couldn't play with
or talk to anyone.
So I caught a monkey and talked to it
and I teased a snake demon
that had yet to transform into a human.
I lived like this for more than 20 years.
Then I met a man.
NINE-TAILED FOX DEMON
He was a Nine-Tailed Fox Demon.
He could also change faces.
We competed in changing faces.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon had a mirror
forged from the soul of a mythical ape
that can remember the past.
He asked me
to record my face with the mirror.
Gradually,
I learned to maintain my own appearance.
At first, I was very wary,
but he didn't treat me as a monster.
He even taught me a lot of things.
Is this where you live?
Why?
Your mother killed my best friend
and cut off one of my tails.
Unfortunately, your mother is dead.
I have to let you
pay the price.
To vent his anger,
he tortured me in various ways.
He fed me strange things every day,
scattering my spirit power
into my meridians
and trying to make me
into the best spiritual medicine.
It has been 30 years.
It has been 30 years.
In two more days, it will be a full moon.
Finally, it's almost done.
Let me think about how to eat you.
You wish.
How dare you.
It has been a long time.
Perhaps he thought
I had forgotten about the outside world.
Or perhaps I no longer had spirit power,
so he lowered his guard.
When I deliberately provoked him,
he rushed into the cage
and beat me without any precaution.
He didn't expect
that I secretly made a poison
with the herbs
I collected bit by bit.
I used my blood to poison him.
Is this his broken tail?
Cangxuan.
He imprisoned
and tortured me for 30 years,
but I took his life.
My grudges with him have been settled.
His tail is very rare.
You keep it.
It can help you transform
and break through barriers.
I don't want it.
Let him cool down.
You keep it for me.
Your family governs the world's foxes
and is proficient in illusion techniques.
What disease does Xiaoyao have?
Why can't she recover her true appearance?
My family is good at illusion techniques,
but I have never heard of this disease.
Xiaoyao.
It's all my fault.
You have suffered so much
these years.
It's my fault.
I didn't fulfill
my responsibility as a father.
Master, what's wrong with Xiaoyao's face?
What disease has she got?
Master.
Her face changes.
It's not a disease.
Isn't it?
Not a disease? What is it?
There's a rare weapon inside you
called Rejuvenating Flower.
It can help people
keep any appearance they want.
So it makes my appearance change.
But why is it sealed in my body?
Father, if you take it out,
I'll have my original appearance
and it won't change randomly, right?
Yes.
Father, help me take it out.
I would rather be an ugly person.
I don't want to become
a false, faceless one.
Right now, I can't help you take it out.
However, I promise you.
I'll restore your true appearance.
It's all right.
I've waited so many years anyway.
I have enough patience.
