Lost You Forever (2023) s01e22 Episode Script

1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
CHENRONG MANSION
Jing,
did you travel all the way to Zhiyi
just to persuade me to follow Cangxuan
and join him in his great cause?
Yes.
Cangxuan is insightful, generous,
courageous, and loyal to friends.
He could be a good friend.
But as an ally
I know.
King Xiyan Deyan and King Xiyan Yuyang
have been running the Xiyan court
for centuries.
They have entrenched positions
and great power.
Cangxuan, however, is weak
with a flimsy foundation.
He is not a match for the two kings.
Since you know it,
why do you still advise me
to ally with Cangxuan?
Throughout history,
it's easy to do others a favor,
but hard to provide timely help.
If we judge the future
based on the current situation,
we can only maintain the status quo.
If we want to realize our ambitions,
we must carve out a different path.
Isn't this like gambling?
A big gamble.
I'm surprised to hear that from you.
You've been modest and prudent.
I'm just analyzing the situation.
If we were one of the unknown families,
we might as well take a risk.
But we are among the Four Great Clans,
the head of all clans in the world.
Whoever is in power,
it won't affect our two families.
Why risk the lives of clan members
for a prince
with little chance of winning?
Perhaps it won't affect your family,
but what about you?
Fenglong,
are you content to live
under the protection of your ancestors,
being a do-nothing leader
of the Chishui Clan?
King Deyan and King Yuyang
fought alongside the King of Xiyan.
I doubt
Cangxuan can protect himself.
It's all right if we can't hit the target.
Anyway, someone else can.
Who in the world
can match the Fangfeng family in archery?
As long as we can control them,
that's enough.
Exactly.
Cangxuan.
Did you agree to attend
the banquet held by Yueliang?
-Yes.
-You must not go.
They are now the masters of Xiyan City.
I'm new here.
If I put on airs,
it would seem
to outsiders that I'm ungrateful
to be shunning them.
You just came here
without finding your footing.
This is the best time
for them to handle you.
They wouldn't dare hurt you
at Zhaoyun Peak,
but once you leave this place,
you will enter their territory.
Without facing difficulties,
how can I fight back?
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
I'm just a little scared.
But that's impossible.
What are you afraid of?
Nothing. I'll go with you.
Fine.
Bring your best guards.
All right.
XIYAN CITY, YUELIANG MANSION
-Bravo.
-Bravo.
You want to beat me
with your poor archery skills?
Don't just talk the talk.
Let's compete another day.
All right.
Listen,
you guys bear witness to our deal.
I will teach this man a lesson.
Finally, you're here.
Why are you late?
Although I'm late,
I have brought an honored guest,
the top expert from Haoling Xihe Squad,
who once defeated Chishui Xian.
I'm Yu Jiang.
I'm from the Haoling Xihe Squad.
Greetings, Prince Yueliang
and the other gentlemen.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
-Princess, have some dessert.
-Have some fruit.
Thank you.
I've prepared musical instruments,
brushes, and ink.
Do you prefer playing music or painting?
I can't do both.
What about couplets?
I can't either.
Do you enjoy playing chess?
I learned it from a young age,
trained by a master from Xiyan Kingdom.
I'm experienced in it.
I can play it with you.
I'm not very good at that.
I see.
Do you enjoy playing some games?
I've never tried any.
Your dress looks fashionable.
It must be a new dress made for you
by the disciples of Lady Xiezu.
I don't know.
Maybe.
It should be.
It should be.
I hear that the Jintian family is good
at making weapons.
They also excel at making jewelry.
But not everyone can let them make it.
Your jewelry is so exquisite.
The Jintian family made it for you, right?
My father gave it to me.
I just put it on.
I don't know.
I'll ask about it next time.
I'll ask him.
I'm getting a bit tired.
I'd like to take a stroll
in the courtyard.
I'll accompany you.
No, I'll go by myself.
You all sit.
Xiang Liu, what are you doing here?
You sneaked up on me.
I can't guess what you're up to.
I'm getting all sorts of wild thoughts.
But I didn't expect
that you mistook me for someone else.
The poisonous bug didn't respond at all.
With you staring at me like this,
I really wish I was the one
you just mentioned.
Are you really not him?
If you're willing to drink with me,
I can pretend to be him.
All right.
What if I fall in love with you
at first sight?
You'll know
after this drink.
Did you poison me?
He's really poisoned.
With you holding my hand like this,
how could I refuse
whatever you ask me to do?
Why did you have to poison me?
You're really not afraid of death.
It depends on whose hands I'm dying by.
Antidote.
Feed me.
Why did you poison me?
Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.
Do you also poison
the person you mistook for?
That's a bad habit.
Sorry.
Hey.
How can I let you go?
What do you want?
I want you to remember me.
Fang
Feng
Bei.
Remember my name.
Don't make a mistake again.
You are Fangfeng Yiying's
Second brother.
Do you know my younger sister?
What a small world.
On the contrary, I think it's too vast.
It took me so long
to meet you.
You're not him.
CUI HALL
CUI HALL
Your Highness, you were calm
and easy back there.
Very impressive.
You flatter me.
I've been through too much,
so I can handle it calmly.
I heard a lot about you in Haoling.
You have lived up to your reputation.
I hear you never lose a duel.
I admire you greatly.
It's a pleasure
to meet you tonight.
Fangfeng family?
Cangxuan!
Cangxuan!
Stay back!
Xiaoyao!
Guards!
Guards!
Yu Jiang, do you want
the Xihe Squad exterminated?
This is personal.
It has nothing to do with the Xihe Squad.
I am the Princess of Haoling.
If I say it's involved, then it is.
You are the Princess of Haoling.
How can you destroy the Xihe Squad
for an outsider?
What about you?
You conspired with outsiders
to assassinate Cangxuan,
bringing disaster to your clan.
I didn't!
Cangxuan beheaded my brother.
I must take his head to mourn my brother.
Stop!
Xiaoyao.
Don't move!
Don't move!
Fangfeng family.
Move away!
Don't move!
You can't, Xiaoyao.
-Don't move!
-Move away!
I am the Princess of Haoling.
They won't kill me.
Trust me.
Trust me!
Xiaoyao, move away!
Don't move!
Move away!
Protect the lord!
It's all right.
It's all right now.
We're alive.
We're still alive.
Xiaoyao,
you're not allowed to do this again.
You cannot die.
Chishui Xian, I know it's you.
CHISHUI XIAN
Why?
You nearly had the Xihe Squad wiped out.
It's none of your business.
Why did you stop me?
There are a million ways to seek revenge.
But you chose the most foolish one.
I didn't know you had a brother.
My name was Xuan Ming.
My brother was Xuan Ting.
Xuan Ting?
The notorious cruel official,
the former Lord of Zhiyi?
Those are all rumors.
I don't believe my brother was like that.
My brother treated me well.
I worked so hard
to kill Cangxuan to avenge him.
But you made me fail at the last minute.
I just stopped you from being used.
So what?
I only want to avenge my brother.
Don't bring about your own destruction.
Last time, you won by luck.
Now we can have another match.
If you can't beat me,
I will stop you from revenge.
Chishui Xian, you
ZHIYI, CHENRONG MANSION
Prince Cangxuan
and Princess Jiuyao are safe,
but it's not due to my protection.
The killer feared the King of Haoling
and dared not to kill the princess.
You didn't fail your duty.
After all, no one expected
that apart from a top-notch expert
like Yu Jiang,
they would arrange another assassin.
I shall take my leave.
Jing, you guessed right.
Luckily, you asked me
to send Chishui Xian to help.
I didn't expect
the princess to be so brave.
She even risked her life
to protect Cangxuan.
Cangxuan is lucky
to have such a good sister.
Indeed,
he's really lucky to have her.
For you and the princess's sake,
the Chishui family did Cangxuan a favor.
But that's all we can do.
After all, Cangxuan is alone and helpless.
He can't compete with King Deyan.
I don't want the Chishui family
to get involved with him.
Cangxuan is helpless in Xiyan City,
but it might not be the case
if he leaves there.
What do you mean?
If Cangxuan leaves Xiyan City,
how can he be the King of Xiyan?
That's Mount Xiyan.
MOUNT XIYAN
Don't get up.
Forgo the formality.
Thank you, Grandfather.
Do you feel better?
Yes.
Zhaoyun Peak originally
belonged to your grandmother.
The guards of Zhaoyun Peak
were also personally trained by her.
Although I live here,
I have my own guards.
Now that you're back,
they'll follow your orders.
Thank you, Grandfather.
These guards can protect you
at Zhaoyun Peak.
But if you want to take over Mount Xiyan,
you can't stay at Zhaoyun Peak forever.

Xiaoyao.
Let me take you back to Mount Wushen.
I'll walk my own path alone.
Why?
I don't want you to protect me
from danger.
You want me to live a good life
in Mount Wushen
while you stay here waiting for death?
I'm not as weak as you think.
I deliberately hid my strength.
Even if Chishui Xian hadn't come,
I wouldn't have been in danger.
But I didn't expect Fangfeng Bei
to be there.
My enemies are stronger than I thought.
I'll be more careful.
Even if we have to part one day,
it definitely won't be now.
I've lost too many loved ones.
I absolutely can't lose you.
I've also lost too many loved ones.
I absolutely can't lose you.
If you don't want me
to be in danger again,
find a way
to eliminate potential danger.
I will try my best.
I will sacrifice myself.
I will do whatever I can do.
But you must stay alive.
Otherwise,
not only will we be aggrieved,
but those behind us
also won't rest in peace, right?

"Prince Cangxuan
is virtuous, generous,
smart, and diligent.
He is now appointed
as the Minister of River Transport
and granted a mansion in Xiyan City.
Hopefully, he will diligently
perform his duties,
help the people in need,
and not let His Majesty down."
Without Xiaoyao stepping in,
Cangxuan should have died.
Deyan, how about we
Absolutely not.
Father scolded Yueliang and Shiran
for letting Yu Jiang escape.
If we act again so soon,
it will definitely provoke Father.
Let's wait and see.
I think Cangxuan
has pleased our father
at Zhaoyun Peak.
Father offered him such a good position.
If he stabilizes his position with this,
it will be a big problem.
Whether it's a good or tough job,
it's still up to us.
I thought he would be afraid of Yu Jiang
and choose to hide at Zhaoyun Peak.
Unexpectedly,
he's quite bold.
He's taking the initiative
instead of backing down.
You're right.
Now that he's in Xiyan City,
we should entertain our nephew
as a host.
XIYAN CITY, CANGXUAN MANSION, QI GARDEN
Be careful.
Lift it slowly.
Clean it up.
Be careful with that box.
I have to live
in Xiyan City
because of my job.
But you have no work to do.
You can stay at Zhaoyun Peak.
I will be wherever you are.
All right.
You will be wherever I am.
There's only one bottle
of green plum wine left.
Princess has been keeping it.
Should I put it aside
or keep it with those empty bottles?
Princess of Haoling
can have any drinks she wants.
I'll get you some more.
No need.
You can drink this.
And throw away those empty bottles.
But isn't this your favorite wine?
As time goes by,
it will have the flavor of waiting.
I waited on Mount Jade for 70 years.
I've had enough of that.
No matter how much I love it,
once it has this flavor,
I don't want it anymore.
Take it away.
The mulberry wine I brewed
is almost ready.
I'll have Sang bring it over.
Yes.
You haven't received any news
from Jing recently.
Do you want me to write to him for you?
No.
Didn't you say it?
The only way to stop being disappointed
is not to give myself hope.
If you have nothing else to do,
you could get me a pharmacy.
Are you going to make medicine?
Do you mean they are poisonous?
Severely poisonous. Can they be delivered?
Yes.
Please send them to Qingshui Town.
The Qingshui Town
that you mentioned is located
in the far east of the Xiyan Kingdom.
It's almost by the sea.
That's why I asked the Tushan family
for the delivery service.
Other delivery services are cheaper,
but I don't trust them.
Miss, you made the right choice.
Only the Tushan family
dares to deliver your stuff.
I'll leave it to you.
Who is the recipient?
Once the goods arrive,
he will come to pick them up.
All right.
Are you getting things delivered?
Do you remember me?
Since I just escaped from your arrow,
it should be hard
to forget you.
How could I shoot an arrow at you?
You must be mistaken.
You'd better stay away from me
because every time I see you,
I want to poison you.
Do you hate your friend?
It's not about my friend.
I hate you.
Why are you following me?
I'm bored.
You also seem bored.
If we stay together,
it's better than being bored alone, right?
What are you here for?
Don't say you're here for boredom.
I can't do my things in broad daylight,
so I'm busy at night.
I feel quite bored during the day.
I have to say
you're really
Shameless.
If I'm not,
how dare I pester
such a pretty lady like you?
If you ignore me today,
I will prepare
for my next encounter with you.
Why do you want to meet me?
There is a lady.
She's beautiful.
I met her by fate and fell in love
with her at first sight.
Do you think I believe it?
If you believe it,
I dare not say it.
Do you want to see me shoot arrows?
I hear your family is good at archery.
Compared to me,
they are not good at archery.
I want to see your archery.
Follow me.
Are you trying to shoot
that pine tree in front?
People make mistakes.
Let's head back.
Flowers for the beauty.
The flower is not so pretty,
but it's a token of my affection.
His archery
is astonishing.
If he truly intended
to kill us that night,
neither Cangxuan nor I would have escaped.
Good archery.
Are you interested?
Can you teach an outsider?
What you need to learn now
is the posture of archery,
not the core method.
Anyone can teach you.
However,
I am the best teacher
for you.
If you are willing to teach,
I will be happy to learn.
How can I say no
to you?
I'll see
what you are really up to.
Just use it as a target.
All right.
Not bad.
Remember.
Stand upright.
Shoulders down.
Hide your arm.
Don't bend over.
Don't lean forward.
Don't lean back.
Don't hold your chest.
It seems I'm not cut out for archery.
Stand upright.
Use moderate strength.
Hold the bow correctly.
Set the arrow calmly.
Advance and retreat.
Stretch it to its full extent.
How do you feel?
I didn't focus on hitting the target.
I just subconsciously focused
on drawing the bow and shooting.
I didn't expect I would hit it.
You're smart. Try it again.
All right.
I hit it again.
I thought that with my low spirit power,
I absolutely couldn't hit the target.
Archery requires skills.
It's about using strength in a smart way.
Even those without spirit power
can hit the targets better than those
with much higher spirit power
by using the right method.
Is that true?
Don't you know my sister, Fangfeng Yiying?
Her spirit power and cultivation
are inferior to mine,
but her archery
is just a little worse than mine.
I see.
You just focused on the result.
Let's stop here for today.
If you go on,
you will only remember wrong feelings
and your skills will get worse.
Take what you can get.
If you were a teacher,
your disciples would like you.
My method is only suitable
for smart people.
I'm flattered.
So
are you interested
in learning archery from me?
Even if it's a trap,
I'll jump in.
If you accompany me to kill the time,
I'll teach you.
Kill the time?
How?
For example,
I taught you archery today.
Shouldn't you
treat me to a meal?
All right.
Ma'am.
Take your time.
Ma'am.
Welcome. Please take a seat.
This lady is more beautiful
than those who came here with you.
As usual.
All right. Please wait a moment.
"There is a lady. She's beautiful.
I met her by fate and fell in love
with her at first sight."
It seems the beauties you have met
are all over Xiyan City,
let alone in such a small tavern.
One, two, three
Can I count them
on my fingers?
Don't look down on this small tavern.
It serves
the best roasted meat in Xiyan City.
Here it is.
Please enjoy.
Thank you.
The part above the rib,
near the neck,
with some skin and fat,
is the most delicious.
Try it.
It is delicious.
I'm not bragging,
but I know where to eat nice food
or have fun in Xiyan City.
I believe you.
You met so many beautiful ladies.
You have to rack your brains
to please them.
So you know it better.
Since I met you,
I realized
what I learned before
is all for pleasing you today.
Your ability to please ladies
is even more impressive than your archery.
The pastry in this place is not good.
The crust is too hard
with ashes from the stove.
You can have the inside.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm now certain
you're not the person I thought you were.
TUSHAN
Xiaoyao,
what are you doing now?
Have you ever thought of me?
Young Master, a message from Xiyan City.
Young Master.
Everything is normal as usual.
There is only one thing.
Princess Jiuyao of Haoling
and Fangfeng Bei are quite close.
They hung out together in the streets,
having delicacies
and enjoying entertainment.
Lately, they traveled together,
lingered in the mountains,
and stayed out late.
I am a ruthless person.
I'm ruthless to others,
but I'm even more ruthless to myself.
No matter how good something is,
if it's not worth it,
I will give it up.
XIYAN CITY
Hey.
Where are we going today?
What is this place?
It's an underground casino.
Are you coming?
Why not?
