[Lost You Forever S2]

[Episode 2]

The Central Plains are indeed prosperous.

No wonder His Majesty wishes to establish the capital here.

Being sentimental is a fatal for a hero.

That boy Xuan doesn't have half the ambition and spirit the old King of Xiyan had.

Back then...

Xiyan stewed mutton.

ancient Shu grilled silkworms.

There's a story about this stewed mutton.

When the Grand Imperial Sire won a big victory in a battle, he rewarded the three armies.

As it was cold, he stewed the mutton in a big pot and shared it with the soldiers.

The ancient Shu grilled silkworms were created by Queen Xiezu.

It may look frightening, but it's rich in nutrients.

I didn't expect to eat such authentic Xiyan dishes in the Central Plains.

Call the cook here, I'll reward him well!

Yes.

It's been a long time since I've eaten such authentic Xiyan food.

If it weren't for Xiao Xuan, we would be drinking and eating at home.

Come on. Let's drink.

Eat up.

This tastes great. So authentic.

It's the taste of Xiyan.

Everyone.

This is the cook who prepared the dishes for you.

Please.

- Greetings, Your Majesty.
- Greetings, Your Majesty.

Rise.

Elder, please rise. Please rise.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm shocked.

I really didn't know Your Majesty made these dishes.

Because of me, all of you elders had to leave home and come all the way to the Central Plains.

You can't even eat hometown food here.

I'm sorry about that.

I made these dishes as my apology to you all.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.

Forget about status today, and only consider our closeness.

Elders, please forgo formalities.

Please sit down.

Please, sit.

- Yes.
- Yes, Your Majesty.

Grandfather Huhe. What do you think of the dishes?

Good. Very good.

Especially the grilled silkworms, taste as good as Queen Xiezu's cooking.

Do you all remember?

That year, we ventured deep into the enemy's camp, ran out of food, and suffered serious injuries.

It was all thanks to the silkworms raised by Queen Xiezu, that we survived.

Indeed.

The queen was merciful.

Back then, each soldier serving the Grand Imperial Sire owed Her Majesty.

- Yes, indeed.
- Yes.

As a child, I often heard about how my grandmother fought alongside you all.

In the past, Xiyan's territory only covered the northern and western borders.

Now the territory is vast, stretching from Yuyuan in the west to the Donghai Sea, governing most of Dahuang.

It all thanks to your deeds of valor in battle.

Your Majesty insists on staying in the Central Plains.

I thought you were captivated by its prosperity and forgot the past hardships.

I've decided to stay here not because I've forgotten the past.

I'm walking the same path my grandparents took, leading the Xiyan clans

to make Xiyan thrive and give people a peaceful life.

I've never forgotten your contributions to the country.

My men asked around.

It's true.

To please those old folks, Cangxuan shamelessly cooked for them.
[Xiyan Shiran]

Is that how a king should behave?!

Cangxuan is scheming.

With all that pretense, he might have won over those old folks with kindness versus force.

Fifth Brother. We can no longer stay in the Central Plains.

Instead of enduring Cangxuan's tyranny,

why not fight back together?

While the old clans still support us,

take the chance to oppose the capital relocation and lead everyone back to Xiyan.

Just let Cangxuan stay here and be the king.

It's perfect.

You can take this chance to make yourself king in Xiyan City.

Fifth Brother, it's a rare opportunity.

If Cangxuan wins over the clans and secures his throne,

I'm afraid we won't have another opportunity.

Okay.

Shiran.

Take my message, invite the leaders of each clan to come and discuss matters.

- Let's return to Xiyan City together.
- Yes.

When you have time,

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

Don't worry.

After that, I'll 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.

Join me for a meal.

Sorry, but I don't have the time.

You had better not refuse my invitation.

But right now you're Fangfeng Bei.

Then who were you talking to just now?

All right. General Xiang Liu.

What kind of meat is this?

It smells so good.

Donkey meat.

In Dahuang, no one is better at cooking donkey meat than him.

What a surprise.

It's been centuries.

This is the first time you've brought a friend.

A girl, even.
[Old Man Lirong]

It's made especially for you. Try it.

Thank you.

A while ago, two more brothers left us.

Those who followed Chi...

Followed the general have almost all died.

Every man will die sooner or later.

You're right.

Some day it'll be our turn.

Look at you.

When she's around you, you don't even dare approach her.

Now, she left with another man.

And you're looking lost again.

What can I do even if I approach her?

What a small world, Jing.

Don't you think?

What's your name, young lady?

Young lady.

Fangfeng Bei is as bad as that old donkey meat chef.

Forget about him.

Why not... consider my buddy?

My buddy was set up by a woman and suddenly there's a child.

However, that's not an unforgivable mistake, right?

Lirong Chang!

Just think about it.

It's because he made a mistake,

so he would never make the same one again.

After getting married, you'll have less to worry about, right?

Are you done?

No.

Young lady.

To be honest, Fangfeng Bei can't give you a stable life.

Though Tushan Jing made a mistake, he's still better than Fangfeng Bei.

I'm already engaged.

He isn't my fiancé.

So, please.

Stop belittling others.

Engaged? To whom?

Who dares take my buddy's woman?

Tell me his name.

I'll go talk to him right now.

If he doesn't call it off, I'll break his legs.

Chishui Fenglong.

Go ahead and talk to him.

Feng...

You're Fenglong's fiancée?

Then... you're the Princess of Haoling,

King of Xiyan's cousin?

You're quite polite to him.

What he said is true.

I'm not a good man for any woman.

You already know that.

You're the daughter of the Princess General?

And your father?

I'm the Princess of Haoling.

So, my father is the King of Haoling.

Well, he can't hold his liquor.

Yet he likes to drink.

Once he gets drunk, he loves to sing random folk songs.

He... already lost one arm.

And he's crippled.

He's practically disabled.

We're here for a meal.

Once I leave this place, I'll remember nothing.

Are you done? Let's go if you are.

We'll take our leave.

Enjoy your meal.

Lirong Chang know your identity?

That one-armed old man is his uncle.

He was once a general under Chi Chen.

He took part in the Battle of Jizhou?

His arm was lost in the Battle of Jizhou.

Today's Central Plains is already different from before.

Be careful.

Are you worried about my safety?

What are you thinking?

I'm just casually reminding you.

I think you should worry more about yourself.

Myself?

What about me? I'm pretty good.

Yes. You're doing incredibly well.

That's why you were gambling alone at the casino.

Why do you think it's so hard to find a companion?

It's not that hard.

Finding one who shares similar interests, where you both take care of each other,

who makes journeying through life together interesting is hard.

Can a person not forget someone in their lifetime?

That depends on who it is.

If you're talking about Tushan Jing,

I think it's very possible.

Are you saying he can't forget me?

Or that I can't forget him?

That's up to you.

Anyway, there are plenty of good men in Dahuang.

There are many good men.

But...

the ones who will stay true to you

are few.

What do you mean by that?

Do you think I shouldn't marry Chishui Fenglong?

I don't mean anything.

You asked me.

I was just expressing my honest opinion.

Then, if I don't marry him,

who should I marry?

You're asking me?

How would I know?

Anyway, the man I marry can't have a family

or be my brother's enemy.

♫ Yearning, like a venomous curse, etches into one's bones and heart ♫

This is as far as I'll take you.

Ahead of you... is your world.

♫ Awaiting snow fall, destiny's favor, and your arrival throughout a lifetime ♫

♫ Endlessly yearning, but unable to endure until the flowers bloom ♫

Sister. What are you looking at?

Why were you ignoring me?

Nothing much.

Just a casual passerby in life, that's all.

Just a casual passerby in life, that's all.

In the end, we aren't traveling on the same path.

♫ The sounds of tenderness and deep promises... ♫

Let's go.

Let's go!

♫ If the heart were a canvas, every scene ♫

♫ would depict both the path we took and the way back ♫

♫ Life, like a dance of snowflakes, step by step ♫[ br] ♫ It's lonely ♫

How is it?

Have the guests arrived?

The clan leaders sent people to say that they weren't available and couldn't make it.

None of them can come?

Do you know why?

The leader of the Shangyang clan happens to have a banquet today too.

They've all gone to his banquet.

He's holding a banquet too?

It couldn't be a coincidence!

He's deliberately going against me!

Your Majesty.

Establish a capital, and the country will be stable.

Relocating the capital must be done quickly.

Please make a decision soon, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. Now, the territory of Xiyan is vast.

And Zhiyi is in the heart of it, it's more suitable to be the capital.

I also support moving the capital.

I agree.

Move to Zhiyi, and it'll facilitate governance better.

- Agreed.
- Agreed.

Agreed.

I agree, move the capital.

Agreed, move the capital.

Agreed, move the capital.

- I object!
- I also object!

Agreed, move the capital.

Agreed, move the capital.

- Yu Jiang.
- Yes!

I command you to oversee the matter of relocating the capital.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is wise.

Uncles.

Do you have any more doubts?

- Your Majesty is wise.
- Your Majesty is wise.

You handled the matter of relocating the capital very well.

Thank you for leaving the Shangyang clan and the others to me.

Things wouldn't have gone so smoothly without their help.

Yes, I gave them to you.

But whether to use them or how, is up to you.

No need to think of me.

I understand.

The king wields power and is also wielded by power.

You chose this path yourself.

There's no turning back.

Even stopping to rest is impossible.

You can only move forward.

Yes.

I understand.

Royal Father. I long for the homeland.

I've already told His Majesty that we're returning to Xiyan Mountain.

You both have thought this through?

I originally couldn't admit defeat.

But Cangxuan has been recognized.

We'll humiliate ourselves if we don't give up.

It's better to let it go,

enjoy my life. And at least end well.

Okay.

You both figuring it out now isn't too late.

As long as the two of you don't do anything more,

Cangxuan won't give you a hard time.

In the future, I can't accompany you.

Royal Father, please take care of your health.

Rise.

- I take my leave.
- I take my leave.

A'Xie.

Our grandson has done very well,

even better than I expected.

He convinced them with emotion and won them over with benefits.

Using both kindness and force.

Originally, I thought my two good-for-nothing sons

would be sacrificed for the country.

Unexpectedly, things ended without bloodshed.

The two of them ended up well.

I feel happy today.

Have a drink with me.

Here.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

No need for formalities.

I made some pastries that you like.

His Majesty can't eat food of unknown origin.

I must do poison testing, and then have someone taste it.

You didn't have to. Thank you, anyway.

I feel I haven't done enough for you yet.

These days, you've been on the line,

navigating life and death.

I've also been anxious and restless.

But could do nothing.

I could only remind myself of the promise we made.

- Promise?
- Has Your Majesty forgotten?

We promised that whatever happened, I would be with you.

Fortunately, Your Majesty was blessed and ascended the throne smoothly.

I could finally breath again.

Whatever happens, you would be with me?

Yes, in my heart there's only you.

I'll be with you whatever happens.

[Memorial from Chishui Fenglong]

The king wields power and is also wielded by power.

You chose this path yourself.

There's no turning back.

Even stopping to rest is impossible.

You can only move forward.

Your Majesty?

I understand.

Your Majesty. We haven't tested for poison yet.

No need.

It tastes good.

If you like it, I'll make it often for you.

There's one thing I want you to do.

Grandfather, please tell me.

Can you find a way to persuade Xiang Liu to surrender?

Persuade Xiang Liu to surrender?

That'll be difficult.

It's very difficult.

For centuries, Deyan and Chenrong Yi have both tried.

But they were rejected.

Still, I hope you can try again.

If it's achieved, it will be beneficial for the country and the people.

I'll appoint someone clever and capable to deal with this matter and make every effort to do it.

Good.

This isn't a place for Chief Lirong to be.

I actually think I'm the perfect person to be here.

Tell me. What is it?
[Xiang Liu]

His Majesty asked me to persuade you to surrender.

Do you know... the fate of the last person who tried that?

Of course, I do.

But I still had to come.

As an envoy of Xiyan, I'm here to persuade you to surrender.

But as your friend, I advise you to spare yourself.

Spare myself?

I know.

You stayed with Hong Jiang to repay his kindness.

I don't think you'll change sides and serve Xiyan.

However, you can take this opportunity to withdraw.

Withdraw?

You've already served Hong Jiang for centuries.

No matter what, you don't owe him anymore.

Why not take this chance to unload this heavy burden?

From now on, live in seclusion or wander the world.

Carefree, doing whatever you want.

Even if you meet someone you like, you can marry her, have children, and spend your life with her.

That's a joyful life too.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

- Grandpa!
- Oh my.

Grandpa, let me help you.

Good child.

Let's go. I'll make you something tasty.

Granny, I'll help you.

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

Shall we go eat?
[Rejuvenation Hall, Qingshui Town]

If you have any requests, just let me know.

The King of Xiyan will try to fulfill them.

No need.

Go on back.

You stubborn nine-headed demon.

What do you want exactly?

You know what happened to Chi Chen.

He staked his life for the Central Plains. And now?

Who remembers him?!

Haven't you seen the kind of life my uncle is living?

This is a path doomed to failure.

What are you holding on to?

Gosh.

The mountains and rivers remain, but old friends are gone.

♫ And let my blood splatter on your clothes ♫

♫ Like blooming peach blossoms ♫

♫ As long as you can see me ♫

♫ Oh, wow, it's amazing ♫
[Chi Chen]

♫ Please cut out my heart ♫

General!

♫ Like peach blossoms on the mountains ♫

This is General Chi Chen's love song for his wife.

Where did you hear it?

Baili.

Did the girl who came with you... put the poisonous bug in you?

Even if it's her, so what?

You shouldn't see her anymore.

Go to Baili. Have the Wu Wang remove the poisonous bug.

The Baili people are eccentric.

They don't like to deal with strangers.

Why would the Wu Wang help a stranger?

He will.

As long as he sees that girl, he'll definitely help you.

That girl is...

Is what?

Forget it.

Elder Princess of Haoling and Chi Chen,

what exactly is their relationship?

There's no hope between you two.

It's better to let her go.

Your positions are different.

Don't end up like the general.

He was in love with a woman but had to fight to the death with her on the b*ttlefield.

You two... have different positions.

The outcome is doomed.

Why not stop now?

Let her go.

Don't see her again.

Don't see her again, okay?

Don't worry.

She said...

I wasn't allowed in her dreams.

The person she loves isn't me.

Your Highness. The weather is so nice.

How about archery practice?

I don't want to.

How about making pills?

His Majesty sent over rare herbs just now.

Not interested.

How about playing the zither?
[Miaopu | Shanju]

Eat snacks?

Or have a few drinks?

Not interested in any of that.

Xiao Yao.

What's wrong?

You've been listless recently.

Not at all.

Everything's going well.

Then are you well?

Are you happy?

Why...

ask that all of a sudden?

Miaopu said you always sit up late into the night.

I thought you would get better after a while.

But you seem more and more upset.

I'm really worried about you.

Maybe it's because you're the King now, and I have no pressure.

So my life isn't as disciplined as before.

Is that really it?

Don't look at me like that.

I thought that once I was enthroned,

I can now give you what I couldn't before, improving your life significantly.

But you aren't happy right now.

Did I do something wrong?

It's not your fault.

It's my own problem.

Then tell me.

What went wrong?

Recently...

I've always been thinking about Qingshui Town

and the days we spent in Zhaoyun Hall as kids.

I cherish those good times.

But I don't like dwelling on memories from the past.

Even if the past was beautiful, I still have to move on.

The past is the past.

But I don't know what's wrong with me.

I just...

I'm always thinking of Shiqi.

I don't know why I'm so weak and useless.

I don't like who I am now.

Xiao Yao.

You are not alone now.

I'm here, you can cry.

You can be weak.

It's okay.

Up until now, every step I took,

if I had shown one sign of weakness, it meant death.

So, I told myself I could never be weak.

I just don't understand.

I've gone through so much pain before.

Why am I so heartbroken, to the point it's unbearable?

It's just a man, right?

Why do you look even more upset than me?

Don't worry.

Time will heal all wounds.

Many years ago, I realized

that wounds of the heart are hard to heal.

So, even after all these years, I can't forgive my mother for k*lling herself before my eyes.

No matter how much I cried and begged,

she still left me.

Physical wounds can heal.

I believe there must be a way to heal emotional wounds as well.

I didn't say it wouldn't be.

It's just I can't forgive my mother.

But now, with your companionship,

the pain of losing her is long gone.

The happiness now can heal past wounds.

Are you encouraging me to start a new relationship?

I just hope someone...

can heal the pain Tushan Jing caused you.

Who will make you believe in yourself,

feel cherished, and adored.

And no matter what, will never abandon you.

I've gotten used to being unlucky since childhood.

I don't even dare hope for someone like that.

There will be one.

Xiao Yao.

There will be one.

If I had known you would cry over Tushan Jing,

even if I wanted the help of the Tushan Family, I wouldn't have given him the chance to get close to you.

Now I hate Tushan Jing.

But I hate myself even more.

[Tushan]




'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 ♫
