Lost You Forever (2023) s01e29 Episode Script

1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
Grandfather.
Please.
I'll protect her.
Cangxuan,
with your current abilities,
you can't protect her at all.
Xiaoyao.
I'm not late, right?
No.
I arrived early.
You look troubled.
Is it about recruiting the army?
Didn't I tell you to leave the rest to me?
I came here to tell you
that I'm going to Chishui
to bring you the best warriors.
You're leaving Zhiyi City?
What's wrong?
Wait until the New Year.
Why?
My grandfather is furious
about the recent burglary.
My two uncles are also making a scene.
The entire Zhiyi City is under curfew.
The curfew doesn't apply to me.
Don't worry. I'll be careful.
What about Xiaoyao?
What do you mean by that?
Xinyue will take care of her.
Just do me a favor.
Keep Xiaoyao company these days.
All right.
I'll go back to Chishui
after the festival.
Finally, there's news on Xuan.
You can't hide it from me.
Xuan
is with Chenrong Xinyue now?
Cangxuan made his choice.
Even if it's not Chenrong Xinyue,
it would be a woman
from the Central Plains.
Cangxuan's destiny
is written the moment
his father died in the war.
You can't be his one and only.
Forget about him.
Father.
Find me a husband.
I don't want Cangxuan anymore.
I'm sure
among all the admirable men in Haoling,
I can find someone better.
All right.
I'll trust you to select a husband
for Nian.
This is quite a challenge.
I mean,
the princess is distinguished,
good-looking, and highly
Cheerful.
Ordinary men don't deserve her.
Are you saying
that no one in Haoling
is good enough for Nian?
I'm afraid so.
You come from my mother's clan,
the Dragon Squad.
You're my nephew and my disciple.
You're distinguished and capable.
Besides, you've watched Nian grow up
and know her well.
That's right, Your Majesty.
As Nian's cousin,
I'll naturally shoulder the responsibility
of finding her the best husband.
Haoling is a great kingdom.
How can we not be able
to find a presentable young man?
Of course we can.
I'll find her any type of man she prefers.
Hurry up and get it done.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Master Qingqiu.
It has been a while.
Please have a seat.
Why are we meeting here?
You must have figured out that I'm
Mr. Fangfeng.
Just get to the point.
I'm a businessman.
I'll do whatever I'm allowed to do.
Naturally,
I won't do anything forbidden.
I would like you to deliver some goods
to Qingshui Town.
Have you seen anyone suspicious?
Report to the authorities if you do.
Understood.
The whole city has been in chaos for days.
Are the burglars still at large?
They can't hide something
as obvious as provisions.
There are roadblocks everywhere.
The burglars can't run away.
Why would I deliver goods for you?
You're a businessman.
Naturally, I'm doing business with you.
What can you possibly offer me?
Xiaoyao, why are you here?
I heard the Tushan family
is good at tracking people.
What?
Can't you tell if you're being followed?
Can we talk business now?
Are you threatening me with Xiaoyao?
I'm just telling you what I can offer.
Tushan Jing.
Will you
take this deal
or not?
I'll never let anyone
use Xiaoyao to get a deal.
However, I'll do what you said.
You taught Xiaoyao archery
as her mentor.
I truly appreciate it.
This time,
I'm repaying you on her behalf.
Repaying me on her behalf?
Have you asked her opinion?
It's between Xiaoyao and me.
You don't have to worry about it.
Of course.
It's up to you to accept it or not.
You can turn me down.
Here's the time and address.
Send someone there.
I'll deliver the goods to Qingshui Town.
Goodbye.
Another mistake.
I think I prefer listening to others play.
Play something nice for me.
I haven't met the former Master Qingqiu.
Neither do I know
what delicate tunes
he has managed to play.
Maybe I won't hear that in my lifetime.
Although it's a pity and it upsets me,
I don't really think it matters much.
Tushan Hou may have destroyed your hands,
but he can't take away
the joy when you play.
Joy is a feeling.
It doesn't get damaged
along with your hands.
You're right. I was obsessed.
I've never studied music.
I know nothing.
Just pluck the strings
and I'll find it amazing.
What should I play?
Do you remember the song
I sang for you the other night?
You're like the wind on the water
I'm like the lotus in the wind
Meet and miss
Meet and miss
You're like the cloud in the sky
-I'm like the moon in the cloud
-Young Master is playing the zither.
He hasn't played it
-We fall in love and cherish each other
-ever since his hands got hurt.
-We fall in love and cherish each other
-I thought
I would never hear him play
the zither again in my lifetime.
You're like the tree in the mountain
I'm like the vine on the tree
Accompany and depend on
Accompany and depend on
Why is there joy and sorrow in the world?
Why are there gatherings
And partings in life?
Why do I wish to hold your hand
For the rest of my life?
Stay together forever
Never to part
Stay together forever
Never to part
Stay together forever
Never to part
Has the banquet in Yiqing Garden started?
Yes.
Would Your Majesty like to take a look?
Sure.
If I go, Nian will feel awkward.
Never mind. Let her choose.
It doesn't matter who,
as long as she likes him.
HANZHANG HALL
He's not bad. Keep him.
Princess.
He has a mole between his eyebrows.
It may not be so nice
to have a flaw on his face.
That's a beauty mark.
I find it pretty.
That guy with the flute.
He's dressed in green.
He looks frivolous like a playboy.
Are you jealous of him?
The one who sang
didn't have a nice voice.
Come on, Ru Shou.
You're so picky.
No wonder you're still single at this age.
I
Anyone else?
Go on.
Your Highness.
You've seen all 20 people present today.
Is that it? I can't decide.
Why don't you open your eyes wider
and look closer?
So? Which one is the best?
Do I have to pick the best?
Yes.
Then I pick you. I think you're the best.
Cangxuan.
I brought you
some great warriors from Chishui.
They all have great spirit power.
Are you happy? Are you surprised?
Are you too thrilled to talk?
We're friends.
It's no big deal.
Did you leave Zhiyi City
and go to Chishui?
That's right.
Didn't I tell you
to keep Xiaoyao company these days?
Why did you go to Chishui
without telling me?
I know what you're thinking,
but I can't prioritize girls
over my friends.
Of course I must help you first.
Why didn't you tell me
that you were leaving?
I wanted to surprise you.
So? Are you happy?
Yes.
I'm so happy.
Leave it if you don't want to learn.
I can play for you.
Xinyue keeps checking on me
because you're teaching me.
I have to give her an answer.
It's too embarrassing to say
that I learned nothing.
It doesn't bother me.
Just tell her that I'm a bad teacher.
But it bothers me.
How about this?
Teach me something really simple
that doesn't require technique or rhythm
and can be played with my eyes closed.
Jing.
Teach me.
All right?
All right. I'll teach you.
I must prove to Fenglong and Xinyue
that I learned from the best.
There's still a lot of room
for improvement.
Keep working on it.
Tell me the truth if we're friends.
I think your talent lies somewhere else.
If anyone asks you to play the zither,
you'd better say no.
It's fine.
Jing and I are also good
at different things.
Xiaoyao.
You let your mentor down.
Even if you play,
don't tell anyone that you learned
from Master Qingqiu.
It's not her fault.
I'm a bad teacher.
Right?
I'm very clever.
An overly lenient mentor
and a shameless disciple.
That's why you're so bad.
Who's shameless?
Whoever is getting irritated.
Fine.
I'll teach you a lesson first.
Who's shameless?
Come back.
You're unbelievable.
You can't play well
and you're scolding me.
Your Majesty.
It's the auspicious hour
for the New Year's worship ceremony.
Please take a look.
Deyan.
Yes.
You will be in charge
of the ceremony this year.
Pay extra attention.
I'll definitely pay extra attention
and do my best.
Princess Jiuyao of Haoling
will be in the Central Plains
for the festival.
Have we prepared a gift for her?
Your Majesty.
We have prepared gifts
for all royal descendants accordingly,
including Princess Jiuyao of Haoling.
Zhoushan.
Go to my treasury
and find something fancy for Xiaoyao.
She grew up
without any elders by her side.
I want to make it up to her.
Understood.
Your Majesty.
Shall I get more gifts
for Prince Cangxuan?
No, follow the regulations.
Understood.
Xiaoyao.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Nothing.
Really.
It's just that I'm going back
to Qingqiu Hill for the New Year.
I have to be there
to pay tribute to our ancestors.
When are you leaving?
Tomorrow.
Send regards to your grandmother
for me and Xinyue.
Of course.
You have to go by road
due to the bad weather.
It will take long.
Travel safe, Jing.
Thank you, Xinyue.
These are for Jing.
If you get delayed
and his legs hurt,
apply a thick layer of ointment
to his wounds.
Remind him to apply the ointment
whenever he goes out in the snow.
If it still hurts after he returns,
prepare a herbal bath for him.
I've put the herbs in sachets.
One sachet for every bath.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I'll keep that in mind.
I'm leaving then.
Safe trip.
See you next year.
See you next year.
Let's go.
Young Master's legs hurt on snowy days.
Ms. Fangfeng never paid attention.
However,
Her Highness is considerate enough
to prepare ointment and herbs.
If only Her Highness could be our lady.
Mind your words.
Young Master is engaged.
Her Highness is just grateful
that Young Master is teaching her.
So what if he's engaged?
Even married couples can get divorced.
They're not even married yet.
Haven't you ever heard
of anyone canceling an engagement?
CHENRONG MANSION
If you're the lotus in the wind,
I would be the wind on the water.
Meet and miss.
If you're the moon in the cloud,
I would be the cloud in the sky.
We fall in love and cherish each other.
If you're the vine on the tree,
I would be the tree in the mountain.
Accompany and depend on.
Despite the joy and sorrow in the world,
despite the gatherings
and partings in life,
my heart will always remain the same.
I would like us to stay together forever
and never to part.
It's beautiful.
It's nice.
Come on.
Happy New Year.
-Happy New Year.
-Happy New Year.
Have some.
Xiaoyao.
Thank you.
Father, Mother.
-Happy New Year.
-Happy New Year.
Come on. Cheers.
Fill it up.
-Happy New Year!
-Happy New Year!
CUI HALL
Father hasn't punished anyone
for the burglary.
On the contrary,
he entrusted
the New Year's worship ceremony to you.
I bet he values you a lot.
We dispatched so many soldiers,
but failed to get the provisions back.
Nor did we catch that viper.
The Chenrong rebels
impose a huge threat to our Xiyan Kingdom.
It has been hundreds of years.
Even Father couldn't handle them.
What can we do?
Mu Fei is here.
-Let him in.
-Yes.
I hope you are well,
King Deyan and King Yuyang.
I came all the way
from Zhiyi City to pay respect.
You know the prominent families
in the Central Plains well enough.
Are they
still against Cangxuan nowadays?
Prince Cangxuan
sent Princess Jiuyao to Chenrong Mansion
to keep Ms. Chenrong company.
In fact, she's also getting along
with Chishui Fenglong.
All the prominent families
saw their frequent associations
with Chishui Clan and Chenrong Clan
and got a bit terrified.
The complaints have subsided
to a great extent.
Haoling Jiuyao
doesn't stay in Haoling,
but follows Cangxuan
all around.
There's something about Princess General
that I can't figure out.
I hope you can enlighten me.
Go ahead.
PLUM BLOSSOM WOOD
ON THE OUTSKIRTS, ZHIYI CITY
Greetings, Your Highness.
Please get up.
Xiaoyao rarely joins such a gathering.
She came to keep me company.
You must treat her well.
Of course.
Stop there.
Did you hit me?
-Don't run!
-Xinyue, let's have a snow fight.
-Come on.
-Come on.
-Come here.
-Stop there.
Let's join them.
It's all right. Go ahead.
Take this.
Stop running.
My apologies.
Don't be scared. Get up.
It's all right. Keep on playing.
The plum blossoms here are beautiful.
Next time,
we should invite Cangxuan to admire them.
Miaopu.
Miaopu.
Miaopu.
Someone has set up a formation.
It hurts.
Come out and kill me.
What's the point of hiding?
