Lost You Forever (2023) s01e31 Episode Script

1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
Your Highness.
I tried three different tortures on him.
He couldn't take it
and wanted to seek death.
However,
he still hasn't named his accomplices.
I killed your little sister.
Take my life
as you wish.
You did it alone?
You really speak highly of yourself.
They must have agreed
to let him take all the blame
before taking action.
His clan has been wiped out.
Even if the two kings are furious,
they can only kill him.
I have no family whatsoever.
If you want my life, take it.
You have no family whatsoever?
I bet countless people died
trying to save you
from Chi Chen's blade.
Are you really willing to let
the Mu family bloodline come to an end?
What do you mean?
Xiaoxiao.
When he was living
with his relatives, the Shen family,
his maid, Liu'er,
was kicked out of the mansion
due to adultery
and soon gave birth to a boy.
You've been careful enough
to avoid contact with them,
but I still discovered something.
The son of this maid
must be yours.
You can remain silent and die.
I'll send your son
to reunite with the entire Mu family.
You're a devil!
You're a lunatic!
You killed my little sister.
I swear I'll claim your life!
However, if you tell me one thing,
I'll leave your son out of it.
I killed your little sister.
Other than that,
I know nothing.
I know you won't betray your partners.
I just want to know
why you wanted to kill Xiaoyao.
Just tell me that
and I'll spare your son.
You have some time to think it through.
Don't try to commit suicide.
Think about your son.
Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao.
Your Highness.
What's wrong?
Mu Fei wants to see you,
but he wants Mr. Fenglong to be there too.
I see.
I can tell you why I killed your sister,
but you have to promise me
that you will never hurt my son.
As long as you tell me the truth,
I won't hurt him.
I don't trust anyone from Xiyan.
I want to hear you say
that no one
shall ever hurt my son.
As long as you tell Cangxuan the truth,
I promise no one shall hurt your son
for what you've done.
You must be resenting me
for causing so much trouble
for the clans in the Central Plains.
However, I had to kill her.
Because she's not
the great princess of Haoling at all.
She's the daughter of Chi Chen.
-No way.
-No way.
I've seen that demon's eyes in person.
I can't be wrong.
After I saw the fake princess,
I was filled with hatred and rage,
but I still investigated her carefully.
I even consulted
King Deyan and King Yuyang.
The demon, Chi Chen, annihilated my clan.
I'll never forget how he looks.
It just occurred to me
that the great princess of Haoling
reminded me a bit of Chi Chen.
I've also heard rumors
between Princess General
and that demon.
Therefore,
I came to seek your confirmation.
What rumors?
Your Highnesses,
you lived through that period.
Have you ever heard of the affair
between Princess General and Chi Chen?
To be honest,
there were indeed rumors saying that
Xiling Heng and Chi Chen
However,
it was before she married
the King of Haoling.
So Princess General and Chi Chen indeed
There's no such thing.
Yuyang,
Father has forbidden anyone
to discuss this.
Don't you remember?
Fine. I won't discuss it.
Those are just random rumors.
Don't take them seriously.
Xiling Heng divorced the King of Haoling
for other reasons.
It had nothing to do with Chi Chen.
Although they were
extremely reluctant to talk about it,
I was sure I was right.
She was the daughter of Chi Chen.
Nonsense.
Before my aunt left for war,
she had told me
to ask the King of Haoling for help
if anything went wrong.
If she had betrayed him,
why was he nice enough
to educate me and protect me in Haoling?
That's right.
Mu Fei.
Think about it.
The King of Haoling is so shrewd.
You can find the truth, but he can't?
If he had doubts about Xiaoyao,
why would he hold
such a grand worship ceremony
to show people in Dahuang
how much he loved Xiaoyao?
Did I really kill the wrong person?
No.
No way.
I've seen those eyes.
I can't be wrong.
There's no way I'm wrong.
It's too late
even if you realize your mistake.
You hurt Xiaoyao.
You will pay with your life.
I sacrificed one life to save you.
If you dare to die,
I'll chop you up
and feed you to the fish.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon also said
that my mother had been
having an affair with Chi Chen.
They had kept it a secret
from everyone, including my father.
If he had found out about it,
he would have gotten rid of me.
Are you still mad about what Mu Fei said?
Nobody would believe in such nonsense.
I hope what he said can remain between us
not only because
it affects the reputation
of the King of Haoling and my aunt,
but also because my dear uncles
wanted to use the clans
in the Central Plains to kill Xiaoyao.
I understand.
Xiaoyao is prestigious.
If it's not handled properly,
King of Xiyan may blame it
on the Central Plains
and put it into turbulence again.
For the peace of the Central Plains,
I'll be careful and remain silent.
Since we know
why Mu Fei wanted Xiaoyao dead,
it's easy to find his accomplices.
Chi Chen wiped out many clans,
but not many of them had members left.
First, they need to know Mu Fei well
to trust each other in this assassination.
Second, they should practice
Water Spirit and Wood Spirit.
Also, I feel that one of them is a woman.
Only a woman can manage
to separate Xinyue and Xiaoyao
and stop the secret guards
I sent around Xiaoyao
without attracting attention.
You've got a point.
With all this information,
I bet you already know who did it.
Come to Chenrong Mansion tonight.
Xinyue and I will have an answer for you.
All right.
Xinyue took me to the plum blossom wood
and I was assassinated.
Where am I?
Am I already dead?
So I can't leave my body.
Does Cangxuan know how I am?
He must be worried sick.
Fenglong, it's a good opportunity.
I know it's an opportunity,
but Cangxuan will have to make a decision.
Have you found the culprit?
After an investigation,
we confirmed that
there were four culprits.
Apart from Mu Fei,
there are orphans
of the Shen, Zhan, and Jin families,
namely Shen Zhong,
Zhan Xueling, and Jin Yuejian.
Thank you.
Cangxuan, one more thing.
What is it?
The Fan and Zheng families came to see me
and pleaded
for Zhan Xueling and Jin Yuejian.
Zhan Xueling is Mr. Fan's fiancée.
They grew up together
as childhood sweethearts
and would get married in three months.
Jin Yuejian was engaged to the daughter
of the Zheng family at a young age.
They've always been close.
The Fan and Zheng families said
that as long as you went easy
on Zhan Xueling and Jin Yuejian,
their families would pay back
by showing support.
I
I
suggest you think twice.
That's also my opinion.
You need talents at this moment.
If you kill Zhan Xueling and Jin Yuejian,
the two families of the six
will turn against you.
It's not worth it.
That's right.
Cangxuan,
to achieve great success,
you must know what to do
and what not to do.
The harm to Xiaoyao
can't be undone even if you kill them.
You can only vent your anger,
which is pointless.
However, if you spare them,
they will be your supporters
and help you achieve great things.
Good point.
Let me tell you a story from my childhood.
I was quite young.
My parents left to fight in the war,
the one against your grandfather,
Chenrong Yanzhuan.
One day,
my mother and aunt suddenly came back
with the news
that my father died in the war.
I saw my grandmother,
my aunt, and my mother
hugging each other and crying.
My grandmother
was the founding queen of Xiyan
who used to fight
alongside my grandfather.
My mother was the wise leader
of the Ruoshui Clan.
My aunt was the Princess General
who became known throughout Dahuang
and died defending the kingdom.
The three of them
were the toughest women I had known.
However, at that moment,
they cried their hearts out
like they lost all hope in life
and didn't know what lay ahead.
It was heartbreaking.
At that moment,
I swore to myself
that I would be strong.
I would be much stronger
than King of Xiyan.
I have to protect them.
I'll never let my grandmother,
my aunt, and my mother
weep helplessly out of the deepest grief.
However
However,
they didn't see me grow up.
I want to protect my family.
That's why I'm eager to grow up
and gain power.
That's why I want to achieve
greater things than my grandfather.
If I choose to let go
of those who hurt Xiaoyao to gain power,
I would be betraying
my younger self in Zhaoyun Hall.
As you said,
there are things we can do
and things we can't do.
But no matter what,
we shouldn't
betray ourselves.
When you try to talk me out of it,
has it crossed your mind that
if I give up on Xiaoyao for some reason,
maybe one day,
I can give up on you
for something else?
I'm not a good man
or a good lover for a woman.
However, no matter what happens,
I won't give up on my family,
friends, and subordinates.
You, Xiaoxiao, or Jin Xuan.
Whoever dares to hurt you
will never be spared.
Most of the time,
I can weigh the pros and cons
and make the right choices.
However, in rare cases,
I'm willing to follow an arduous path.
It's not ideal to offend
the Fan and Zheng families,
but so what?
I'll fight through thick and thin
in the worst case.
All right.
I'll fight alongside you.
I believe
that sooner or later,
those two families will realize
that it's better to take my side.
You two are lunatics.
My lady.
Are you happy or sad?
I should have been sad
when he mentioned other women,
but I can't help being happy
about what he said.
He said
that he would protect me
and wouldn't let anyone hurt me.
Why haven't I met him sooner?
When I was held hostage in Xiyan City,
I was terrified every day
and had to bear with it
when I got bullied.
If he had been by my side back then,
maybe I wouldn't have suffered so much.
Do you like my little sister
because of her status
or her personality?
Do you like Xiaoyao because of her status
or her personality?
We've decided to make the culprits pay,
but it's tricky to decide
on a method.
What's on your mind?
If I let my grandfather handle
the Mu, Shen, Zhan, and Jin families,
someone may connect it to Chi Chen,
which is bad for Xiaoyao.
It's not just bad for her.
Chi Chen is hated in the Central Plains.
If people hear about it,
it may cause serious trouble.
Don't worry.
Not even my father and Xinyue
saw Mu Fei's testimony.
I'll keep their motive a top secret.
Tell your father
to leave Mu Fei to my grandfather.
I'll handle the Shen, Zhan,
and Jin families.
All right.
But what's your plan?
I'll make it quick for Zhan Xueling
because she's a woman.
As for the others,
I'll make them suffer
hundreds and thousands of times
the pain Xiaoyao has suffered.
What about your uncles?
I can't do anything to them yet,
but I swear
I'll get even with them one day.
Xueling!
I'm married into the Zheng family.
They won't let you off
if you dare to touch me!
Xiaoyao.
I've avenged you.
I didn't let go of any culprit.
I know
it may render all our efforts in vain.
If you're awake,
you would stop me.
However, I don't want
to weigh the pros and cons of this.
If we have to start afresh,
I'll have to make you
continue suffering with me.
Her Highness's hand is cold.
Get her a thick quilt.
Your Highness.
This is just a puppet.
Yes, Your Highness. I'll be right back.
I wonder how Cangxuan is.
I bet he's looking for me.
Tushan Jing must have heard
about the assassination.
Xiang Liu.
Are you the one who saved me, Xiang Liu?
Xiang Liu.
Are you the one who saved me?
Are you the one who saved me?
Where have you been?
How can you leave me here alone?
It's so irresponsible
to leave the patient alone.
Do you know?
I healed you with my blood so many times.
Now, it's time for you
to return the favor.
Why do you look so pale?
Is it the blood from your heart?
You silly.
Although you have nine heads,
you will die if you lose
too much blood from the heart.
Xiang Liu.
Look at my hand.
Look.
You were filled with poison
and you cultivated with poison.
The blood in your heart is deadly.
I'm afraid I would be poisoned to death
before you can save me.
Xiang Liu.
No.
Xiang Liu.
No.
What are you doing?
I see. I got it wrong.
Once I recover,
you can take as much blood as you want
and I won't make a single complaint.
Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu!
Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu.
Don't you have nine heads?
How can you be poisoned so easily?
Xiang Liu.
Please don't die.
The Princess General's daughter
was tortured and assassinated.
I can't believe some clan leaders
would plead for the culprits.
Father.
Mu Fei
is the last member of the Mu family.
The Ying and Chu families
feel sorry for him.
That's why they plead for him.
We can chop off his legs or nose,
but please let the Mu family
carry on their bloodline.
Isn't Xiaoyao
the only child of Xiling Heng?
Why don't you feel sorry for her?
I'm not pleading for Mu Fei.
I'm simply conveying
the message of those clans.
When did you become so close
to those clans in the Central Plains?
I'm not.
I dare not.
Assassinating the Princess General's child
is a heinous crime, never to be forgiven.
Mu Fei dared to hurt the royal blood.
I sentence him to death by 1,000 cuts.
Discard his body in the wild
without a burial.
The heads of the Chu and Ying families
couldn't discern right from wrong
and pleaded for the culprit.
Tell the two families
to select new leaders
who have better ethics and morals.
-Understood.
-Understood.
Send some
No.
Go bring Xiaoyao back in person.
I can't leave her there anymore.
Master,
I'm afraid we shouldn't
move Princess Jiuyao at the moment.
The physicians in Haoling
couldn't figure out how to heal her.
Cangxuan seemed to have found someone
who could save Princess Jiuyao.
Let her stay there
and get treated for now.
However,
no matter what happens,
have Cangxuan inform me right away.
Also, send as many
spiritual medicines as possible.
If they need anything else,
inform me right away.
Rest assured, Master.
I'll keep an eye on it.
Assassinated?
How could that be?
I bet she has been picking fights.
Does she think everyone is nice like me?
Serves her right.
Did the King of Xiyan give the verdict?
Yes.
Mu Fei has been sentenced to death
by 1,000 cuts and no burial.
Two clans pleaded for him
and both were denounced.
They were even told
to select better clan leaders.
Which clan pleaded for the culprit?
The Chu and Ying families.
The Fan and Zheng families
didn't hand in a report,
but as far as I know,
they were secretly supporting
the other two families.
Your Majesty.
These clans are in the territory of Xiyan.
It's inappropriate for us
to directly intervene.
We shouldn't intervene,
but we should let them bully
the great princess of Haoling at will?
You're so useless.
Father.
You can't let them off easily.
We must show them the consequences.
I said we shouldn't directly intervene,
but we can do it indirectly.
Ru Shou, pass on my word.
Kick all the members of the Chu, Ying,
Fan, and Zheng families
out of Haoling.
Also,
Qin Mang, visit the Central Plains
to see Cangxuan
and inform all the clans there
that no one from these four clans
shall set foot in Haoling.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
I swear I didn't do anything.
He can't see me.
What's there to be afraid of?
Are you feeling better, Xiang Liu?
Nine-Headed Demon.
Why did you become so weak?
You're like a fair lady who has been sick
and faint all the time.
Did you lose your primal spirit power
because of me?
Xiang Liu.
Talk to me.
Why are you so silent?
Come on. Talk to me.
Talk to me.
Tell me what's going on out there.
How is Cangxuan?
I bet he's worried.
My father
must have heard about the assassination.
Did you tell them anything?
And Tushan Jing.
Is he fine?
What are those?
Cangxuan sent you
some spiritual medicines,
but they don't help you much.
You can just play with them.
Cangxuan knows I'm here.
That's great.
I thought you two would fight
whenever you meet.
Why would he let me stay here?
Xiang Liu, why are you silent again?
Say something.
Fine.
Why are you still here
if you won't talk?
Just leave.
Just go.
Xiang Liu, I was kidding.
Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu, I was kidding.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Please.
Please come back.
I'm even lonelier without you.
Who's going to talk to me?
Your Highness.
Do you think the Poinciana Wood
will resemble the one on Zhaoyun Peak?
Yes, eventually.
That's great.
Her Highness will be so happy
once she's back.
She has always loved poinciana trees.
Once they're fully grown,
I'll make her a swing
just like the one on Zhaoyun Peak.
That's even better.
Your Highness will push the swing for her
just like when you were kids.
-Your Highness.
-Did you see him?
Xiang Liu is hard to track.
I didn't see him.
I simply left
the spiritual medicines there.
He left you a message.
SHE'S NO LONGER IN CRITICAL CONDITION,
BUT SHE HASN'T WOKEN UP
Your Highness,
is it news about the princess?
How is she? Has she woken up?
She hasn't woken up yet,
but she's no longer in critical condition.
That's good.
Great.
How is Tushan Jing doing?
Master Qingqiu is getting worse and worse.
A few days ago,
Madam Tushan asked the King of Haoling
for permission
to send Master Qingqiu to Guixu.
However, he got weaker and weaker
after he left Zhiyi City.
Things didn't look right,
so they sent him back to Chenrong Mansion.
Send someone to keep an eye on him.
He fell sick because of Xiaoyao.
She wouldn't want to see him sick.
Understood.
You have such an amazing puppet.
I lost.
I see. A visit from an old acquaintance.
Mount Chenrong is well-guarded.
How did you enter?
Evil deeds bring self-destruction.
I'm not the only one who wants you dead.
Try to stay alive first.
Let him go.
Your Highness, don't.
Let him go.
You can go now.
If you don't kill me today,
I'll kill you some other day.
Then you should be careful
not to be caught again.
You should take the front door.
What's the point?
This well-forged dagger
is made to take out hearts.
It's called Heart Appreciator.
This is Bone-Smashing Hammer.
This is Burned Goose Palm.
It's named after a dish.
However, it burns human feet.
Your evil hypocrite
racked your brain
to come up with these horrendous tortures.
It's a pity that
of killing you
for the benefit of the people.
Say no more.
Kill me as you wish.
You also think of someone
who invented these tools
as a devil that deserves to be killed.
Anyone would pleasantly
kill a maniac beast.
Two hundred years ago,
the lord of Zhiyi City
designed them in person.
The sinister method
killed tens of thousands
of innocent people in prison
with false accusations.
The current lord of Zhiyi City
gave the order
to stop using most of these tools,
so don't worry about being tortured.
The previous Lord of Zhiyi?
His mother was from the Xiyan family.
His father was from
the Xihe Squad of Haoling.
His name was Xuan Ting.
You're spouting lies. This is impossible.
Untie him.
Give it to him.
These are Xuan Ting's case files
on the people he tortured.
He listed
the specific types of torture he used
and the victims' reactions.
It was a coincidence
that my grandfather
assigned this case to me back then.
I never regretted killing your big brother
because he was a high-ranked official
who adopted torture on innocent people
and killed tens of thousands of them.
He deserved it.
If you think I've made a mistake,
go on with the assassinations.
