[Lost You Forever S2]

[Episode 1]

[Previously]

Seven bunny babies. The mother and the kids are fine.

If anyone can't have a child, come to my Rejuvenation Hall and look for me, Wen Xiaoliu.
[Rejuvenation Hall]

It's been 300 years.

- Brother, swing higher.
- Okay.

I've traveled through Dahuang and searched everywhere in Haoling and Xiyan,

but there hasn't been any news of her.

Xiao Yao must think that her cousin is useless, right?

Beggar, from today on, your name is Ye Shiqi.

I really didn't expect that a physician from Qingshui Town could be so powerful.

If you have a wife or concubines who are infertile...

Who are you exactly?

I am just an abandoned person.

Mother.

When you miss me, take it out and look at it.

I couldn't protect myself,

had no one to rely on, and had nowhere to go.

Get the most experienced interrogator.

Just leave Wen Xiaoliu alive.

- I, Cangxuan, swear.
- I, Xiao Yao, swear.

- Me and Sister Xiao Yao...
- Me and Brother Cangxuan...

We will trust and look after each other forever and ever. We will never go back on our word.

Brother Cangxuan.

You both are children of noble families.

- Why did you come to suffer in Qingshui Town?
- For my cousin.

I will bring you back from Jade Mountain as soon as possible.

Xiao Yao!

Xiao Yao!

Six years. I've taken you in for six years.

You exempt me from six years of rent.

From now on, we owe each other nothing.

Even the rarest scenery would become dull after being seen too much.

It will only be meaningful if there's someone by my side.

Life is precious as long as we can enjoy such views.

The love poisonous bug demands not only your life but also your heart.

You have nine lives but you only have one heart.

Once you give your heart, you can never take it back.

Brother Cangxuan.

Now that you're back, I'm not alone anymore.

I've decided to be the Princess of Haoling.

Since you chose to return to Xiyan Mountain,

despite the trials and tribulations ahead,

I'll help you fulfill your dreams by your side.

Cangxuan.

Let's go home together.

What if I fall in love with you at first sight?

I want you to remember me.

Fang. Feng. Bei. Remember my name.

Don't move!

- Xiao Yao, move away!
- Don't move!

You cannot die.

We're still alive.

Why not quit being a princess and wander around with me?

Okay. If you give up everything, I'll go with you.

I'm afraid of men like you and my father.

Because in your hearts, there will always be something more important than women.

We are not suitable to be husbands.

In my lifetime,

I hope to see a true prosperous empire that leaves a glorious legacy throughout history.

In these 15 years, don't open up your heart to another man.

Even if I'm not Tushan Jing, I can still be Ye Shiqi.

The one with nothing?

Yes.

When I saved him, he had nothing.

So I don't mind if he becomes nothing again.

Don't break her heart.

If that day really comes, k*ll me.

Miss Fangfeng,

you're pregnant.

I don't hate you.

But between you and me, the relationship ends here.

From now on, we're strangers.

Xiao Yao!

Xiao Yao!

No matter what happens in the future, I will always stay by your side.

When you escaped from the death arena,

if it was I who saved you, how nice would that have been?

Xiao Yao, let's get married.

Are you willing to marry him?

He swore to me that he would be good to me and only have one wife for his entire life.

Actually, that's all a woman wants.

[Previously]

[Daming Hall, Zijin Palace]

After all these years, we finally get to drink so carefree.

Taking over by force was an obvious shortcut. Yet you choose not to make a move.

Were you certain that Grandfather would choose you?

Of course not.

I knew if Grandfather made Deyan the Crown Prince,
[Xiyan Cangxuan]

I would face worse consequences if I made a move then.

So I took a bet. I bet that Grandfather understood what I wanted Xiyan to be like.
[Haoling Jiuyao]

But what if he didn't understand?

There are many paths. But there's only one throne.

Even if I'm bathed in blood with my life at risk, I have to go for it.

You and Grandfather know each other.

He bet you wouldn't stage a coup.

You bet he would pass the throne to you.

This time, both of you won.

I am very grateful not just because he gave me the throne.

I'm grateful because he understands what kind of king I want to be.

Take it back.

I was moved by what you told me last night.

But this Ruomu flower was given to you by Fourth Aunt before she passed away.

She wanted you to give it to the girl you love. I dare not accept it.

You'd better keep it.

Xiao Yao, I...

I...

What? Since when do we keep secrets from each other?

I...

I am very...

Grateful to you.

We are in it together.

You're grateful? Do you want a beating?

Your wish has finally been fulfilled.

Why do I feel that you're not so happy?

Right.

I also find it strange.

We have obviously reached the top.

Yet I don't feel so happy.

It feels like there's a long way to go. The burden we shoulder hasn't been removed.

It has grown even heavier.

Yes.

You are the King of Xiyan now, the ruler of a nation.

You are not just Cangxuan anymore. The burden you carry is surely heavier now.

I only want to protect my family and not be powerless when faced with life and death.

That's why I wanted to be the King of Xiyan.

♫ Without you, even the grandest scenery becomes dull ♫

♫ It began with a turbulent storm ♫

I know.

♫ And leaving nothing but dust behind ♫

♫ Without you, the world's beauty loses its symphony ♫

[Chenrong Mansion, Zhiyi City]

Miss. Check and see if you like these fabrics.

His Majesty has been enthroned. You will soon become the Queen of Xiyan.
[Chenrong Xinyue]

So I'm thinking, we should have the weavers make some new clothes that fit your status

to not be in a rush when the time comes.

You are very thoughtful.

It's my job to be considerate to you, Miss.

Have you sent the gifts to Chenrong Mountain as I told you to? Did His Majesty reply?

The gifts have arrived. But His Majesty hasn't replied.

His Majesty must be occupied with state affairs.

He will want to see me once he's done.

You're right, Miss. It must be so.

Let me write him another letter. I'm worried that he will neglect his health.

Haitang. Pack all those spiritual medicines here. I'll take them as gifts to Brother.

Understood.

A'Nian.

Father.

Are you going to empty my storeroom?

How can I empty the storeroom of the wealthiest man in the world?
[Haoling Yi]

Besides, I think it's not enough.
[King of Haoling | Ru Shou]

Why don't you prepare a few more gifts for Brother to congratulate him?

All right.

All right. I'll hand-pick them.

Step aside.

She's even packing nuts for him. A grown girl is bound to leave home.

I mean, time has changed. Cangxuan is now the King of Xiyan.

If the Second Princess runs off there, people may have opinions.

Let her be. With Xiao Yao there, nothing can go wrong.

That's right, Your Majesty.

It's not your problem if the princess goes to Chenrong Mountain.

It's someone else's problem.

How many days has it been since we sent the letter?

It's been seven days.

And His Majesty hasn't replied?

No.

Miss Shen is truly blessed.

Everyone thought that her marriage to His Majesty was a mistake.

But His Majesty ascended the throne and became the King of Xiyan.

Just for the sake of all the hardships they've been through,

Miss Shen could become the Queen of Xiyan.

Stop calling her "Miss Shen." Now, she is now the King's consort.

Even Miss Xinyue has to pay respects and greet her accordingly.

Who allowed you to gossip here?

Miss.

- Go away.
- Yes.

Miss, His Majesty was just enthroned, and the position of queen has yet to be filled.

All the major clans of Xiyan, let alone the ones in the Central Plains, intend to send someone to His Majesty.

You should make plans early.

Which lady from any major clan can be more distinguished than me?

Those women are not worth concern.

But what about the Princess from Wushen Mountain who clings to His Majesty?

Haoling Yi.

Following His Majesty's sacred decree,

the populations and land ownership throughout the Central Plains have been fully tallied and documented.

Please take a look.

[Xiyan Deyan | Xiyan Yuyang]

Your Majesty, I have something to report.
[Chief of Huhe]

Speak.

You've stayed in the Central Plains since your enthronement.

This place may be prosperous, but Xiyan City is the capital.
[Chishui Fenglong | Chenrong Yi]

Your Majesty, please return to Xiyan City.

- Seconded.
- Seconded.

Your Majesty, please return to Xiyan City.

[Chief of Shangyang]

Your Majesty, Xiyan City is the capital of Xiyan.

But your decrees are sent from Chenrong Mountain after your enthronement. It's inappropriate to go on like this.

Your Majesty, please relocate the capital to Zhiyi.

Your Majesty, you must not.

Xiyan City has been the capital since the founding of Xiyan. How can we just move the capital?

Xiyan boasts a vast territory, abundant supplies, and countless talents.

Yet Xiyan City is located in the northwest,

Surrounded by mountains with poor transportation of supplies and talent, it can't function as the capital city.

Xiyan City is the foundation of our entire nation. Moving to Zhiyi is disrespectful to our ancestors.

Zhiyi is situated in the heartland of Dahuang with access to all directions.

Relocating the capital to Zhiyi will give us access to supplies and talents.

It will be a policy that boosts prosperity and ensures long-term governance.

- The Central Plains are not our native land, after all.
- The Central Plains are within our territory.

How can you say they are not our native land?

- Say no more.
- You—

Relocating the capital is of great importance and requires proper discussion.

Your Majesty.

Consort Shen invites you over to have lunch with her.

Miss Chenrong is here, visiting Consort Shen.

I have some court affairs to discuss with Grandfather. I won't visit Consort Shen today.

[Heaven Bestows Great Fortune]

[Shen Shuhui]

Nice tea.

It's a tribute from the Beijiang Clan, allegedly exclusive to the Xiyan royal family.

It's my first time having it.

Cousin, if you like it, I will have the maid pack some for you to take home.

No need. I was just indulging in something new.

I might forget it if I take it home.

As expected of you.

Has His Majesty arrived?

His Majesty went to visit the Grand Majesty Sire. He won't come over today.

Have some tea.

Grandfather. Give me one more chance.

No, no. I've given you three chances.

One last time. I promise it's the last time.

Deal.

[Former King of Xiyan]

- No regrets once you've made a move.
- No, no, I haven't moved.

Have you decided?

Why don't you enter, Your Majesty?

This is why I'm guarding the world.

Only by seeing that can I continue forward with conviction.

Why don't you just walk in?

You sound like you're jumping into a pit of fire.

- Brother.
- A'Nian, you're here.

I haven't settled scores with you.

Both you and she underestimated me and drove me away.

Am I that unreliable?

Of course not. You're the most reliable.

Except when you cheat.

Grandfather. Brother is bullying me.

Will you help me or him?

I'll help whoever calls me sister.

Sister. Sister.

Sister...

All right. I'll help you, all right?

Why did you come at this hour? Did something come up?

Yes. Grandfather.

I am planning

to take someone from the Shangyang Clan as my consort.

Xiao Yao. I...

I don't want to take a consort. I want to avoid warfare.

Of course, I know.

Grandfather passed the throne to you. Naturally, you can't let him down.

To convince the old clans of Xiyan to relocate to the capital and give up on the Fifth Prince,

bonding and reasoning with them is not enough.

You have to benefit them.

Don't congratulate me. Understand?

I know.

Go back.

Brother.

I feel that you're a bit upset.

Should I accompany you for a walk?

I have a pile of work to do.

How can I afford to be upset?

Be at ease and go back.

Okay. Then I'll go back.

♫ You were there when the water ran dry ♫

♫ But not when the clouds rose ♫

♫ You were there when I looked up with hope, ♫

♫ But not when my head was bowed, thinking ♫

♫ You were there when the wind and snow came ♫

♫ But not when the flowers bloomed ♫

♫ You were there with the smoke curled from the fireplace ♫

♫ But not when the brilliant stars were out ♫

♫ But not when the brilliant stars were out ♫

♫ But not when the brilliant stars were out ♫

What are you doing?

I'm going to find Brother Cangxuan.

A'Nian.

Why do you want to find him?

Grandfather.

I like Brother.

I want to marry him.

Grandfather. Will you make him marry me, please?

A'Nian. You're free to drink. But don't act crazy.

A'Nian!

I really like him. Grandfather.

Grandfather, can you help me, please?

Fine. I will help you.

Really? Grandfather, you've agreed?

I never go back on my word.

Would you stop it?

That's enough.

A'Nian.

That's great.

Grandfather finally agreed. Finally...

I can marry Brother Cangxuan.

Grandfather. How can you lie to her?

She will believe it.

A'Nian is a sweet little girl, innocent, unruly, pure, and clever.

She doesn't have those complicated schemes like other women.

You should really learn from her.

Be more willful and more unrestrained.

I can't be willful or unrestrained because of you and Cangxuan.

What do you mean by that?

If I said I wanted to hang out with Xiang Liu right now, would you agree?

No.

Cangxuan is bound to have a decisive battle with him.

You hold different stances.

You see, my bloodline makes it impossible for me to do as I please.

So, why should I lie to myself?

A'Nian.

Why is Your Majesty in a bad mood?

I once thought the moment I turned Zijin Peak into Zhaoyun Peak, I could return to the past.

But even if I plant phoenix trees all over Chenrong Mountain, what then?

One wrong step leads to a wrong path.

I don't think I have any chances now.

Which step was wrong?

I have no idea, either.

All along the way, it seemed like every step was the only choice.

But it just turned out

to be wrong.

Even if there are mistakes, it doesn't matter.

Withered trees can thrive again. Let alone people.

Where there's a will, there's a way, for sure.

Is there really a way?

Of course. There is nothing you can't do, Your Majesty.

Let's hope you're right.

Relocating the capital will surely shake the foundation of Xiyan.

It absolutely can't be done.

His Majesty hasn't expressed an opinion, but I believe he wants to relocate the capital.

Please come forward to stop him.

I'm afraid His Majesty won't listen to me.

Only you can persuade him.

Royal Father.

Royal Father.

I don't have the power to rule the court anymore.

Grand Majesty Sire. It's time for your medicine.

You two may leave.

Imperial Fathe...

Please take care of yourself.

I take my leave.

Fifth Brother, why did you stop me just now?

Cangxuan has been establishing his power in court.

If Royal Father doesn't stop him, then he will surely relocate the capital despite our opposition.

Father no longer has the power.

We are unable to stop Cangxuan now.

However, it may not be bad if he insists on relocating the capital.

Why is that?

Such an act will surely offend the majority of the old clans who are against it.

The more opposition he gets,

the better for us.

That's right.

They won't change the capital city. Then, it's time to change the king.

Grandfather, what do you think about relocating the capital?

What I think doesn't matter. What matters is what Cangxuan will do.

Relocating capital has always met with great resistance in history.

If not handled carefully, the ministers may turn against the king and stir up trouble.

It might even result in something akin to Haoling's Five Princes Rebellion.

The Shangyang lady has recorded merits.

Dressed in fine garments, she is gentle and compliant, yet wise and intelligent.

Possessing a graceful presence, she is known for her kind nature.

She is hereby conferred a consort.

I hope she remains sincere, filial, humble, respectful, and frugal.

The head of the Shangyang Clan has been loyal and upright.

He has been grateful, dignified, and righteous while safeguarding the nation.

Such a man deserves appreciation.

I hereby bestow upon him the Qingyao Mountain as a reward.

"Possessing a graceful presence, she is known for her kind nature."

Miss. The phrases in royal decrees are always exaggerated and polished.

Please don't take it too seriously.

Miss. Why don't you play the zither?

No one is here to listen to it. What's the point of playing it?

Back then, we played the zither and flute together throughout the night.

But now, it's hard to just meet each other.

Maybe we can ask the young master to help.

Times have changed.

My brother can advise on state matters, but not on His Majesty's personal affairs.

Then, let's get Madam here.

My mother may be Madam Chenrong but she resides in Chishui and is unaware of what's happening here.

She can't be of much help.

So what can we do?

My brother and my mother can't help. But I have a sister-in-law on Chenrong Mountain.

[Chenrong Mansion]

This house of yours has been repaired just fine.

Your Highness, if you like it, stay here with Xiao Yao for some days.

I have no sisters. I'm so lonely here.

Indeed.

We're not like those men who at least have jobs to do.

We have too much free time. It really is boring without company.

Xiao Yao. I heard from my brother that His Majesty has been stressed trying to solve the issues regarding the capital relocation.

- It's a pity that I can't help at all.
- It's okay.

It's the thought that counts. Cangxuan will understand.

What's the point of that? He keeps everything to himself.

He never appreciates it even if we want to help share his burden.

That's right. It's all his fault. I'll give him a scolding.

- It's not Brother's fault!
- It's not His Majesty's fault!

Forget it. Let's not talk about it. The weather is so nice.

- Let's go out for a stroll.
- Good idea.

I haven't been out for a long while.

Okay.

- Let's check out the fabrics.
- Okay.

Thank you.

[Tushan Jing]

The nard is spilled. Let it be.

I'll have them repack some for you.

No need. Thank you, Chief Tushan.

Come take a look.

Fresh out of the pot. Braised chicken feet. Braised duck necks. Braised duck feet.

Come have a look.

Fresh out of the pot. Braised chicken feet. Braised duck necks. Braised duck feet.

Don't miss out as you pass by! Come take a look!

Please take a look.

Would you like some to go with your drink?

Miss.

Miss.

No need.

Miss. What will you bet on?

- What will you bet on?
- I don't believe it. I'll bet on...

- Big.
- I follow your bet.

- Small.
- Small.

[Lirong Chang]

This lady bets quite boldly.

Small!

I run a small business. You must compensate me.

All right. Impressive!

You are truly marvelous.

Don't tell me she's the girl you like.

- What will you bet on?
- Big.

I must take a closer look. The woman who can enthrall my brother must be extraordinary.

You are truly marvelous.

What's the point of these trifles? If we play, let's play big.

Who dares to play with me?

Why don't you have a round with her?

Carry her home if you win the bet.

Brother, if you don't go out now, you may lose your love to someone else.

Let's bet on something new.

Do you dare?
[Fangfeng Bei]

- Bet with him!
- Bet with him!

- Why not?
- Big or small.

The loser must answer a question without lying.

That's new.

Okay. Let's bet.

Jinx!

Sorry. I'm really sorry.

Who...

do you like?

What kind of question is that?

What a lousy question. Next one.

I'll ask whatever I want. Just answer truthfully.

You lose if you don't answer.

Fine, then. The person I like...

Is the one I want to spend my life with.

Who do you want to spend your life with?

That's another question.

Let's talk if you win.

You need to keep your word.

She won.

It's my turn.

If you were given another chance, would you still choose this path?

Yes.

Why?

Because I met someone

very important along the way.

If I had chosen a different path,

I might not have met that person.

You are quite loyal to your foster father.

This is not fun. I'm done.

Don't go.

- Do you not want your money?
- Who says she doesn't want the money?

Put all her money into my account.

On what ground?

You're wearing the wrong color today.
[TN: reference to wearing a green hat, meaning their partner has cheated]

It's not a good omen.

Why were you gambling alone?

Where is your future husband, the pride of the day?

You know I'm engaged?

Chief Chishui is engaged to the Princess of Haoling.

It's hard not to know.

I forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations.

Don't you have anything else to say to me?

What do you want to hear?

Nothing.

There are two things I'd like to discuss with you.

- Go ahead.
- The first thing.

I can still make pills for you right now.

But after I get married, I won't be able to anymore.

And the second thing?

I want to remove the poisonous bug.

It keeps causing you trouble.

Last time, you were tired of it.

When you have time,

we'll go to Baili to remove the poisonous bug.

Rest assured.

After that, I will still keep my promise to you.

All right. When I have time.

I'll deliver the pills to you every three months. I have to go.




"Nothing Can Be Compared to You" - Jason Zhang

♫ Looking back on the days of my life ♫

♫ Where I'm calm and composed, free from sorrow and pain ♫

♫ Lost in the wilderness without meeting your gaze ♫

♫ I've got nothing but emptiness left ♫

♫ Enduring my life's hardship ♫

♫ I cherished everything, yet remained indifferent to wealth and fame ♫

♫ Amidst the sunlight, I couldn't feel your radiance light ♫

♫ The air is filled with nothing but heatwaves ♫

♫ All things are dim, only your eyes shine bright ♫

♫ I'll follow my heart and traveling to see the sun from afar ♫

♫ When everything is filled with sorrow, your brows lift in joy ♫

♫ I'll await for you to enjoy this moonlight night ♫

♫ You came with the wind and rain and left with the four seasons ♫

♫ Without you, even the grandest scenery becomes dull ♫

♫ It began with a turbulent storm and leaving nothing but dust behind ♫

♫ Without you, the world's beauty loses its symphony ♫
