Lost You Forever S2

Episode 17

Father.

Did you find out anything
on your venture this time?

Nothing special.

Xiyan Cang Xuan
has just secured the throne.

Even if they want to attack us,
it still requires time.

What's the difference if it's sooner or later?

When I was young, the
Chenrong Kingdom was powerful.

At that time, the King of Chenrong
coveted Wushen Mountain.

He sent troops to attack Haoling.

The old King of Haoling was feeble.

Chenrong's army was unstoppable and surrounded the city.
[Qingshui Town]

The current King of Haoling took charge amidst
the crisis and he halted the Chenrong army

by himself,
his white robe stained with blood.

I didn't expect
[Qingshui Town]

someone like him would
surrender without a fight.

Tell me. Does our perseverance make sense?

No matter the obstacles,

I shall go forth.

What's the matter?

Who has offended you?

Other than our esteemed queen,
who would offend me?

She pointed at my nose and told me to
scram.

I had no choice but to come back.

Such a terrible temper.
I wonder how it was developed.

Xinyue is like this, it was on me.

Back then, for the people, I agreed to manage the Central Plains under the Great Emperor.

He feared I would rebel, so he kept your mother and Xinyue in Xiyan Town as hostages.

Xinyue lived in fear every day,

so she became a narrow-minded girl who coveted power.

As her father, I never
provided her with security.

She could only pursue power
as a means of self-protection.

When Xiaoyao was adrift far from home,
she also lived in fear every day.

But why didn't she turn out like Xinyue?

How does His Majesty treat Miss Xiling?

His Majesty naturally treats Xiaoyao very well.

Yes. I do not treat Xinyue
as His Majesty treats Xiaoyao.

But Xiaoyao treats His Majesty very well too.

Xiaoyao took an arrow and was willing
to marry into our family for His Majesty.

What has Xinyue done for me?

Your sister was a hostage for 120
years in Xiyan Town on your behalf

so that you could grow up without worries.

Now you sit here and accuse Xinyue because you haven't suffered the hardships she has endured.

If you were in her shoes,

could you guarantee

you would be as upright as you are now?

I'm wrong.

In the future, I will be tolerant of her
and nicer to her.

Fenglong,

you carry the bloodline of the Chenrong
and Chishui Families.

You are the only brother Xinyue can rely on.

In the future, you must be cautious
and watch your manners.

The future of both families

and your sister's safety all depend on you.

I will bear in mind your words.

I'm not short of such jewels in the palace.

The Chishui Red Lotus
grows in the Chishui Cave.

Due to its rich spiritual energy,
the stem remains alive for thousands of years.

This flute is made from the eternal
stem of the Chishui Red Lotus.

It's beautiful like jade
but not vulgar like jade.

It even faintly exudes the scent of lotus.

If you give it to His Majesty,
His Majesty will surely like it.

If you accompany him on guqin,
you two will play better than before.

Thank you, Fenglong.

Father has already told me off.

It was my fault before.

It's not easy for you in the palace.

I will consider more for you in the future.

Grandfather.

You're back.

I'm back!

Grandfather. I brought back a lot of local products
from Xiyan.

- Do you want to look?
- Okay, no rush.

Tell me about your father.

My father has fully recovered.

I was worried he might not adapt well.

But he opened a small shop in Xiyan,

and he's living a leisurely and joyful life now.

That's good.

I really admire him.

He was a powerful king in court,

but he's also able to live
a simple life away from it.

Well, I underestimated his
open-mindedness and boldness.

The people who can understand the
trends of the world are few and far between.

Those who act accordingly and
willingly give up are even rarer.

When His Majesty returns,
we will be honored

to listen to you and His Majesty play the guqin
and the flute together.

I hope His Majesty will like it.

Your Majesty.

- His Majesty has returned?
- Yes.

- Linglan. Hurry up.
- Okay.

Your Majesty. His Majesty went to the Xiaoyue Peak to dine with the Great Emperor.

You may leave.

Now,

I don't even have the chance to present a gift.

Your Majesty.
His Majesty is wholeheartedly filial.

He's not neglecting you for any woman.

All these years, no matter the weather,

as long as His Majesty is at Chenrong Mountain,
he will surely go to the Xiaoyue Peak.

Filial piety?

On the Xiaoyue Peak,
the one closest to His Majesty

isn't the Great Emperor.

Tell me!

If a kingdom can have two queens,

can it have three queens?

How is that possible?

You're a descendant
of the Chenrong royal family.

The one on Wushen Mountain
was once a princess of Haoling.

Which other woman in Dahuang can be
compared to you and share your place?

Xiling Jiuyao, the granddaughter
of the Great Emperor.

Well... Well... No way. No way.

- You're overthinking it.
- Am I overthinking?

Xiyan Mountain which haunts His
Majesty's dreams still lacks a mistress.

If His Majesty wants to, who could stop him?

Chief Tushan.

Chief Tushan is sure to marry Xiling Jiuyao.

Back then, Xiaoyao and Chief Chishui
had already been married in a ceremony,

but Tushan Jing could still have
Fangfeng Bei seize her.

Now, he's a mere chief.

Would His Majesty take him seriously?

All of these are without error.
They can be bound into a book now.

[Herbal remedies and decocting methods]
People all say your writings are hard to get.

After you became the chief,
you wrote less often.

People can't even buy it.

But have a look. We have boxes.

So you put these away.

If we run out of money,
we'll sell them for money.

You just need to have me.

After all, if you want money,
I'll give you as much as you want.

You're totally wrong.

Wrong about what?

Chief Tushan, I will marry into your family.

It's you who will have me.

Or you want to marry into my family?

It's not impossible.

If you are willing, I will ask Xuan to issue
a decree to have you marry into my family.

I am willing.

Keep drawing.

The cup is full.

What were you thinking about just now?

Grandfather, do you know
Fangfeng Yiying is still alive?

Yes, I do.

The Tushan Family announced to the public
Fangfeng Yiying died after a serious illness.

People who don't know the inside story
think Fangfeng Yiying died of illness.

Those in the know

believe Fangfeng Yiying was secretly
dealt with by the Tushan Family.

But in fact,

Fangfeng Yiying is living
incognito in Qingshui Town.

Fangfeng Yiying tried
to assassinate me several times.

I can overlook it.

But she has repeatedly plotted
to harm Xiaoyao.

And Tushan Jing even does not mind it.

Grandfather,

can you really entrust
Xiaoyao to such a weak person?

Cang Xuan,

for the Chief of the Tushan Family who has great wealth and great power in hand,

revenge is easy, but restraint is difficult.

Perhaps you cannot understand
or agree with Tushan Jing.

But a person
who has experienced bloody betrayal

still has a pure heart which is not tainted.

Don't you think this is also
a kind of inner strength?

Whether you or I like him is not important.

What's important is that Xiaoyao likes him.

Your Majesty, you asked me here
just to let me watch you drink?

Even if you want to drink,
let me accompany you and drink together.

Why are you in a bad mood?

The compilation is almost done.

After that,

Xiaoyao is going to marry Tushan Jing.

What is there to be unhappy about?
This is a joyous occasion.

Joyous occasion?

How is Tushan Jing worthy?

He is indecisive.

He's tender-hearted towards Tushan Hou.

He hesitates when he should be decisive
against Fangfeng Yiying.

How is Tushan Jing a good match for Xiaoyao?

Your Majesty, Jing is just too kind-hearted.

After all, Tushan Hou is his blood brother.

It's normal that he can't do it.

Tushan Jing's kindness made Xiaoyao heartbroken and spit blood and fall seriously ill.

His kindness pleases the enemy and
pains the dear ones, so what good is it?

It's clearly just weakness and incompetence.

Jing doesn't have great aspirations,
but he has a discerning eye.

He has supported you from the very
beginning, contributing to your ascension.

Tushan Jing supported me in the battle for the throne not due to his own vision.

He was just following you and took advantage.

He's so incompetent.

Without your care, the Tushan Family

would be kicked out
of the Four Great Clans long ago.

Your Majesty,

actually...

This all...

Fenglong, you carry the bloodline of the Chenrong and Chishui Families.

You are the only brother
Xinyue can rely on.

In the future, you must be cautious
and watch your manners.

The future of both families and
your sister's safety

all depend on you.

This is what I should do.

You flatter me.

Hong Jiang leads the Chenrong rebels to be entrenched around Qingshui Town
for hundreds of years.

Truly a great thorn in our side.

Everyone, do you have any solutions?

During my reign,
I was unable to resolve this matter.

It's been weighing on my heart.

Cang Xuan is filial, so he called
you all here to discuss this matter.

Just feel free to say it
without concern for my feelings.

I have clashed with Hong Jiang several times.

Well then, I will say it first.

For centuries,
we've been in conflict with them, but there has never been
a large-scale battle.

It's always been guerrilla warfare.

Once the rebels succeed in an attack, they flee far away and split into groups to hide in the mountains.

If we retreat, we will lose.

If we advance, we will expend energy to search.

But in the vast deep mountains with
complex terrain, it's very hard to search.

What about training deity scouts
to enhance reconnaissance?

We have tried.

It didn't work.

The high and dense trees
make it difficult for mounts to fly.

The deities do not have the advantage.

Ultimately we still rely on our legs
to search everywhere.

And the Chenrong rebels just want
us to venture deep into the mountains.

Xiang Liu is full of cunning tricks.

Before any head-on confrontation, their unpredictable sneak attacks

already
exhaust our army and deplete our morale.

We can't even find the enemy.
It is difficult.

What about setting up formations?

Xiang Liu is a top-notch master
of formations in Dahuang.

Our formations are often
seen through by him at a glance.

One careless move and the
opponent takes advantage.

Shou, do you have any good ideas?

No good ideas.

But I do have a silly one.

Xiang Liu is a genius who comes
once in a thousand years with nine heads.

Comparing wits with him is tantamount
to exposing one's weaknesses.

Since Xiang Liu is the type to outwit brute force, we might as well use the opposite tactic.

Overpower them with sheer strength.

Your Majesty, you're now the ruler of Dahuang with abundant talents and ample military strength,

whereas the Chenrong rebels are like water without a source and a tree without roots.

If you are not in a hurry, Your Majesty,

[Chenrong Army, Qingshui Town, Slot Canyon]
one word, "besiege".

Ru Shou, brilliant.

No wonder I can never beat you
on the b*ttlefield.

Not at all. I'm flattered.

Ru Shou is right.

Xiang Liu is a genius who comes once in a thousand years, and Hong Jiang is a great general.

It'll be a pity to k*ll them.

It would be best if they could be
persuaded to surrender.

It's been hundreds of years.

You two have repeatedly tried to persuade
them to surrender but never succeeded.

Xiang Liu is determined not to surrender.

I know it's very difficult, but let's try once more.

Otherwise, there will always be regret.

Your Majesty, why not let my father try it?

Chenrong Yi is the best candidate.

Okay.

I will entrust this task to Mr. Chenrong
and he'll go to Qingshui Town.

Wait for my confirmation of the dosages of the
drugs in this prescription before recording it

Okay.

Why have you come at this hour?

Do you need me for anything?

Hu Zhen has told me Tushan Tian
is seriously ill and crying to see me.

I want to go to Qingshui Town to see the child and take a few physicians along for a consultation.

Even Hu Zhen can't cure the disease.

I guess no other physicians have a way either.

Should I go with you?

That would be great.

It's just that Fangfeng Yiying is also there.

I'm afraid you'll be displeased.

Of course, I am not happy to see her.

But the child is innocent.
And it's a matter of life and death.

My mood is not that important.

You just make it up to me later.

I'm forever at your disposal.

[Rejuvenation Hall]

This time, Jing and the
Tushan guards will go with me.

You just stay behind and cover for me.

The Great Emperor is mild.

But if His Majesty asks me,
what should I answer?

I've also had emergency calls before
without returning to the Xiaoyue Peak.

Just tell him I was called away for an
emergency consultation to see a patient.

I'll be back soon.

I'll return by tomorrow morning.

Now, Dahuang is stable,
and His Majesty is wise and benevolent.

Please move on from the past
and lead our troops to surrender.

When the Chenrong Kingdom was destroyed,
faced with the surrender offer,

my answer was to fight to the death.

Today, my answer remains the same.

Why?

The destruction of Chenrong was centuries ago.

Now, people of the Central Plains
have given birth to descendants and already forgotten Chenrong.

Since you approve of my thoughts,
why keep fighting?

Yi, you have your choices.

I have mine.

Moss grows close to the ground,
while big trees reach for the sky.

One downwards, the other upwards.

The two seem to go opposite ways,

but the one down and the one up together
create this world of interesting contrasts.

In the world,

there must be those who adapt,
navigate politics, and go with the flow,

and also those who remain steadfast
to their principles and never submit.

Lord Chenrong, the camp's location is a secret.

So sorry again.

Please accept my bow.

Uncle Hong Jiang tries to console me by telling me big trees

and moss each finds its place,

but over these years,

we survivors of Chenrong have let you down.

After this bow,

you and I will be mortal enemies.

I can't thank you enough
for coming to treat Tian, even after what happened between us.

Let me first examine him.

Hu Zhen has prescribed some medicine,
but he's not better after taking it.

His illness is quite peculiar.

I shall check his blood.

Xiaoyao.

Why have you done this?

Xiaoyao came to save Tian.

Tian is not ill.

He has been poisoned.

Someone promised me if I k*lled Miss Xiling,
he'd provide the antidote.

If you release Xiaoyao,
we will surely cure Tian.

I promise whatever you want,
I can help you get it.

She wants your life.

Don't count on reinforcements.

From the moment you stepped
into this room, you fell into a trap.

The secret guards around you
have been taken care of by my men.

Even a beast loves its cubs.

To plot against me,
you even drugged your own son.

It was just an expedient method.

If Tian knew the truth,
he would surely help his father, right?

What do you want?

I want a fair duel.

Your mother, that vile woman,
constantly says I am inferior to you and even can't compare with your toes.

Fine.

Today, we'll duel fairly

to see who is truly inferior.

Okay. I accept.

In the past,... Mother always helped you cheat.

No matter what I did, in her eyes,
I was not as good as you.

Tushan Jing, you owe me a fair contest.

How do we do it?

Only one of us will leave alive.

Surviving is naturally better.

Even if that vile mother sees it,... she must admit it.

I know you agreed to the
duel as a way to buy time.

But dream on.

This time, no one will save you.

Tushan Jing, as long as you concede and admit you are inferior to me,

I will grant you a swift death.

Good.

I will tear you apart bit by bit
and let you die in the most painful way.

Tushan Jing,

would you rather have your organs
shattered than admit you're not as good as me?

If you were still the brother I knew before,

I would admit immediately
I was not as good as you.

But the you now.

I can tell you very clearly

I look down on you.

How dare you look down on me?

Say it. Who exactly is stronger?

Answer me!

Who exactly is inferior?

Yiying,

this is the arrow

that I designed and forged for you personally.

You...

You made me look like this.

You chose to k*ll me and save Tushan Jing?

If it hadn't been for him, would we
have ended up like this?

Let Tushan Jing leave.

This trap is for you all along.

I am selfish and cruel,
and I hold grudges.

Those who have let me down,
I must have them repay in full.

Chief, I am sorry.

I have deceived and used you once again.

I k*lled all his men.

Miss Xiling will wake up in four to six hours.

I also left a letter for Tian to let him know
what his parents had done wrong.

I only hope that when he grows up,

he can repay what I owe you on my behalf.

Hou,

I just want to know

whether you have even
a shred of true feelings for me.

I'm about to die.

Does it matter

whether I do or not?

Whether you love me or not,

you promised me we would be together forever,

alive or dead.

The man I chose mustn't violate his promise.

Tushan Jing, it's still not fair this time.

Someone is still helping you cheat,

and this time,

it's my wife.

I failed my mission, unable to
persuade Hong Jiang to surrender.

He said to fight to the death.

This is within expectation.

There is no need for excessive self-blame.

Thank you, Your Majesty,
for your magnanimity.

You've had a hard journey.

Go back and rest.

I'll take my leave.

Your Majesty, the young lady and Chief Tushan
were attacked in Qingshui Town.

Is Xiaoyao in any danger to her life?

The young lady is safe now.

What exactly happened?
Start from the beginning.

Fangfeng Yiying and Tushan Hou conspired.

They used Tushan Tian's illness as bait to lure the young lady and Chief Tushan
to Qingshui Town.

Tushan Hou took advantage of his knowledge of the Tushan guards to set up a formation and ambush them with hundreds of men.

They k*lled all
of Chief Tushan's secret guards.

Fangfeng Yiying and
Tushan Hou k*lled each other.

But Chief Tushan is missing.

- Where is Xiaoyao?
- In the town.

Fenglong.

- Your Majesty.
- Can we find any clues from these assassins?

All sworn warriors.

Probably secretly trained by Tushan Hou
specifically to deal with Jing.

Their faces were removed since childhood.

They wore the same clothes
and sat and slept in exactly the same way.

They'd all commit suicide
whether their mission succeeded or not.

Your Majesty.

Have you discovered anything?

The spiritual energy here is rich and mixed.

It's the place where Jing
fought with Tushan Hou.

Right here, Jing was injured.

Here, Jing was defeated by Tushan Hou.

All his organs were injured.

His life was hanging by a thread.

Just at the moment,
Tushan Hou was attacked.

Jing was out of danger.

- How so?
- This is Tushan Hou's spirit blood.

This is his vital blood.

According to my conjecture, since
Fangfeng Yiying didn't harm Miss Xiling

but instead, hid her and Tushan Tian
together in a secret room under the bed,

Fangfeng Yiying bore no malice
towards Miss Xiling and even intended to entrust her with her son.

Fangfeng Yiying
must have dealt with the assassins and everything in the house

and then hurried to k*ll Tushan Hou with an arrow and save Jing.

Where is Jing then?

Where is Jing?

Fangfeng Yiying intended to save him, but she sacrificed herself to a deity.

She was on the verge of collapse,

which gave Tushan Hou
a chance to catch his breath.

Before dying, Tushan Hou severely injured Jing again.

Ultimately, Jing fell into the water.

Is Tushan Jing alive or dead?

It is unknown.

Summon the naval forces
and search along the river.

Convey my decree.

Any aquatic being who finds traces of Chief Tushan,

I will grant their request and give them a big reward.

Yes.

Jing fell into the water from here?

Yes.

- Hurry. Pull Miss Xiling up.
- No need.

Everyone, go look for Tushan Jing.

Find him, alive or dead.

Yes.

- Chief Tushan.
- Chief Tushan.

- Jing.
- Chief Tushan.

- Chief Tushan.
- Chief Tushan.

- Chief Tushan.
- Jing.

Forward. Search carefully.

- Chief Tushan.
- Jing.

You guys go over there and over there.

- Chief Tushan.
- Jing.

Jing.

Had I known this...

Had I known this...

Tushan Jing.

How is she? Is it serious?

Struck by the tragic news,
Miss Xiling had pain in her chest.

And she stayed in cold water all night despite
low spirit power, which did harm to her body...

Just tell me if it's serious
and how to cure her.

It's serious but I can treat her.

- But the result depends on her will.
- Get the medicine.

- Yes.
- Bring it over as soon as possible.

Yes.




'Nothing Can Be Compared to You' - Jason Zhang

♫ Looking back on my old days ♫

♫ I was unruffled
with no sorrow and soreness ♫

♫ In my chaotic life,
I failed to meet your gaze ♫

♫ Only emptiness remained ♫

♫ Enduring all things in my life ♫

♫ I valued all but indifferent
to wealth and fame ♫

♫ Basking in the sun,
I couldn't feel your sunlight ♫

♫ All I feel is a painful heat wave ♫

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

♫ I'll follow my heart
and go to chase the sun far away ♫

♫ Everything seems sad,
while only your brows raise in delight ♫

♫ I'm waiting for you
to enjoy the scenery at night ♫

♫ You came with wind and rain,
while left with my four seasons ♫

♫ All is bleak without you ♫

♫ It began like a tornado,
and went away leaving only dust ♫

♫ Without you,
even the most beautiful world is a mess ♫
