[Lost You Forever S2]

[Episode 5]

Aren't you?

Xiao Yao, I don't want you to leave.

- I want...
- Cangxuan, let go.

Brother. Let it go.

We can't let the Chishui Family beat us to it

and make Royal Father feel that he has to learn about his daughter's wedding from someone else.

His Majesty gave consent to your wedding?

- Of course.
- Didn't he say anything?

Are you saying that His Majesty would oppose it?

Grand Majesty Sire wouldn't. But His Majesty...

His Majesty is close to Xiao Yao.

You proposed to Xiao Yao so suddenly, I'm afraid His Majesty would find it too abrupt and disapprove of it.

Too abrupt?

Do you think I'm acting on impulse?

Aren't you?

You didn't consult with us at all.

This is my marriage. Of course, I'll decide on it myself.

Rest assured, Your Majesty.

I have thought it through and decided to get married soon to avoid any changes.

Why?

Brother. Make yourself clear.

His Majesty is waging a w*r against Haoling.

- Really?
- Such a serious matter requires confidentiality.

Princess, take a break and have some water.

You did nothing this morning. Are you short of herbs?

No.

I just don't know what I should make for the last time.

For the last time?

I can still make pills for you right now.

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

The last time has to be a bit special.

Take your time. You'll figure it out.

That's right.

The last time has to be a bit special.

Shanhu. Run an errand for me.

Take this list to His Majesty and ask for the ingredients.

Ten deep-sea fish gallbladders. Ten Beiming serpent scales.

Ten Zhaoyuan red pearls.

A melon-sized ten-thousand-year ice crystal.

Princess. Are you emptying the treasury of Xiyan?

So many rare treasures.

By the way, I also need two experts to watch the furnace,

preferably of ice and fire attributes, respectively.

Yes, Princess. I'll convey your message.

I pay my respects, Your Majesty.

Xiao Yao sent us a letter saying she's marrying Fenglong.

- Bring her back to prepare for the wedding.
- Understood.

But this is not urgent.

You don't need to rush.

Health comes first.

Master. Even if it's urgent, I can't rush.

I've been feeling unwell.

I'm always dizzy and can't even ride a mount.

Wherever I go, I walk slowly.

What a convenient time.

Besides, it's rare for me to go to Cangxuan's territory.

I deserve some rest, anyway.

And I have to visit a few friends in Zhiyi City.

Master. You won't see me in a long time.

Go ahead.

Understood.

What is this?

Chishui Xian. More spirit power.

Yu Jiang, stop.

That's enough.

Made it.

What on earth are you making that you need two experts?

It's just a pill.

I thought A'Nian was extravagant enough.

I didn't expect that she's nothing comparable to you, Eldest Princess.

I'm going to Zhiyi in a while.

Do as you wish.

I have been weary and exhausted from the journey.

I need a few days of rest.

No rush.

To the usual place. Be fast.

Please rest assured.

Thank you.

- To Qingshui Town again?
- Yes.

Has something happened on Chenrong Mountain?

Why is she suddenly sending something to Qingshui Town when it hasn't been three months?

Everything is fine there. But the Chishui Family has been acting weird.

Chief. Should we intercept this box or take a look inside?

- Send it fast. Do not delay.
- Understood.

- Prepare the mounts. Find out what Fenglong has been doing.
- Understood.

Prepare some...

Chief. You should rest first.

- Go to Chishui.
- Understood.

They make nice braised dishes.

Try and see if you like them.

My tastes have changed.

I no longer like these.

Then try the green plum wine.

Chief Tushan, didn't you hear what I just said?

I said my taste had changed.

The wine I love to drink now is the Lianhua Liquor from Chishui.

It just happens that I have something to tell you.

Fenglong and I are getting married.

You're a good friend of Fenglong.

Please come early for the wedding for fine wine.

All right. I've said everything I needed to.

I won't disturb you anymore.

Miaopu. Shanhu.

Chief.

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

What's wrong?

Princess. Are you all right?

Why wouldn't I be all right?

Do all the major clans know about my wedding?

The Princess of Haoling marrying Chief Chishui is a big event.

The major clans must have heard about it.

Chief Tushan didn't seem to know.

That's right. He seems to have just found out.

The wedding will take place soon.

But His Majesty and the King of Haoling kept the news tightly sealed.

The Chishui clan would not announce it rashly.

So it's possible Chief Tushan may not have heard about it.

Their Majesties are not very enthusiastic and they still haven't announced it.

It seems as if they're waiting for you to change your mind.

Don't talk nonsense.

I made these dishes for you.

What made you so happy that you personally cooked?

I'm heading back to Wushen Mountain tomorrow to wait for the wedding.

I'm here to bid you farewell.

So soon?

I want to spend some time with Royal Father.

Actually, there's no need to rush.

We can simply postpone the wedding.

That's not how things work.

Brother.

I can't bear to leave you.

It's not like I'm never coming back.

Maybe I'll come right back after the wedding.

Just think of it as a usual parting.

I'm just going back to visit Father.

We are only parting for a short while.

It's different this time.

How?

No matter where you went, I could always bring you back.

But...

it's different now.

No matter how long and how far we were apart,

we had no one but each other.

Be it on Zhaoyun Peak, Wushen Mountain, or Chenrong Mountain,

the two of us shared weal and woe.

Be it in poverty, wealth,

or grave danger with our lives at risk,

we were each other's support and family.

But from now on, you will have your family

and children.

I'm no longer your only one.

Am I being selfish?

We have grown up. That's all.

We have grown up.

Let's drink by bowls. No one is going home sober.

All right.

Cheers, Brother.

Xiao Yao.

Do you remember how I sent you away

to Jade Mountain from Zhaoyun Peak when we were kids?

I thought I couldn't keep you because I wasn't the king.

I thought once I became the King of Xiyan, then I could keep you forever.

But now I am the King of Xiyan.

I still have to send you away.

It's all my fault.

I let them get close to you.

I let them into your heart.

It's not your fault.

Whatever you do is right.

You did nothing wrong.

No.

I was wrong.

I was terribly wrong.

Xiao Yao.

Today, I shall speak my mind.

I must confess.

Go ahead.

I like you.

I only like you.

Don't marry Fenglong. Marry me.

Become my queen.

I can promise that you'll be my only one in this lifetime.

I don't want any of those women.

I will drive them all away.

I only want you. I only want you–

Jun Yi.

- Take His Majesty away.
- Understood.

Guard His Majesty tonight.

If he says anything, whoever hears it shall be k*lled.

- Understood.
- You're drunk. Brother.

You're drunk.

Zhou Shan.

Tomorrow, issue a decree to proclaim

that Chief Chishui is about to marry Princess of Haoling.

Understood.

[Wushen Mountain, Haoling]

[Cheng'en Palace, Haoling]

Royal Father. I'm back.

Good. It's earlier than I expected.

I'm getting married. I must come back to prepare for it.

I will take my leave first.

Your grandfather has made an announcement.

But I haven't picked the date with the Chishui Clan.

Why haven't you?

Xiao Yao, have you thought it through?

Yes.

I'll give you another week.

Seven days later, answer me again.

Royal Father, I have thought it through.

I know. But I still want you to think it over.

Don't worry about what others might say.

Tell me if you change your mind. I have your back.

No need. Father–

Your marriage will decide how you live from now on.

If you have no regrets or hesitation, then why can't you wait for another week?

♫ The moon ascends over the sea ♫

♫ Illuminating garments white as snow ♫

Let's go.

It's not easy to encounter the merfolk. I may not have another chance again.

I want to go and see them.

Are you sure?

♫ Yearning, ♫

♫ like a venomous curse, ♫

♫ etches into one's bones and heart ♫

What did you see?

♫ Awaiting snow fall ♫

I didn't expect you to have this kind of hobby. That you like to spy on couples' private matters.

Xiang Liu, you purposely did that!

Am I a villain now?

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

♫ Waiting for the unattainable ♫

♫ In the realm of Mortal World, through nine meandering turns, ♫

♫ there are longing and self-imposed pain ♫

♫ The sounds of tenderness and deep promises, ♫

♫ there are silent words and shackles ♫

♫ 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 ♫

♫ It's lonely ♫

♫ In the realm of Mortal World, through nine meandering turns, ♫

♫ It leads to an ending ♫

[West River Bank, Qingshui Town]

My older brother tortured me in a dungeon for three years.

I lost all my spirit power and my limbs were ruined.

Even my throat was scorched by spirit fire.

I couldn't say a single word.

He thought I was destroyed and threw me into the river.

I had long lost the will to live.

Semi-unconscious, I don't know how long I drifted until I ended here.

You were sealed and didn't see me.

My flesh was rotting with a stench.

I didn't even look human.

Those who saw me covered their noses and avoided me.

Even those who knew me wouldn't come closer.

Only Xiaoliu. Only Xiaoliu held me without any disdain.

She didn't mind the stench or the terrible wounds on my body.

She treated my wounds, washed my hair, and fed me.

She told me stories so that I wasn't bored.

She's such a kind-hearted person,

but I lost her.

What would Ye Shiqi do

at this point?

This imperial edict was sent throughout Xiyan and Haoling?

Your Majesty. We followed the order given by the Grand Majesty Sire.

Grandfather.

I don't get it.

Why would you help Fenglong, the outsider?

I'm not helping Fenglong.

I'm helping Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao is the only child A'Heng left behind.

She wishes to live a peaceful and stable life.

Shouldn't I grant her that?

Xiao Yao does not like Fenglong.

She doesn't know what she wants.

Then what do you think she wants?

To always follow you?

To always be embroiled in the court and harem infighting?

To always be cautious and make sacrifices?

Both of you grew up on Zhaoyun Peak.

But ever since Xiao Yao was cast adrift among the common folk, she's been different from you.

She wants a leisurely life of a commoner, which is peaceful and stable.

It's not like I can't give her what she wants.

I just need...

Some time.

Right?

Cangxuan. I've been in your position before.

I know more than anyone that as long as one sits on that throne,

he always needs to be cautious and vigilant

and make sacrifices.

You need some time.

But even you don't know how long it will be.

What did you promise your aunt?

I promised to

protect Xiao Yao.

Let Xiao Yao get married and do what she wants to do.

Give her the life she wants.

This is how you protect her.

I made a Poinciana flower wreath for you.

Sister. What are you waiting for?

I don't know.

But you're waiting.

Maybe I'm waiting for destiny.

Destiny? What is destiny?

I don't know.

Sister, you're not seriously answering my question.

You keep saying you don't know.

I really don't know.

Isn't it true that none of us know anything about life?

We don't know when we'll be born or die.

We don't know if lovers can get married.

We don't know if loving couples can stay together forever.

We don't even know what will happen tomorrow.

We don't know.

Back then, I thought I was the Princess of Haoling and could have anything I desired.

But I didn't know that Brother would suddenly leave Haoling and become the King of Xiyan.

Nor did I know that he would marry someone else.

And now, I don't know if I can be with him or not.

Sister, what are you hoping to attain by waiting?

Royal Father asked me to wait for a week.

It is destiny if nothing happens within the week.

It is also destiny if something happens.

When you can't change anything and don't know how to make a change,

it seems all you can do is wait.

It's your turn.

I've lost.

Your mind is unsettled. Of course, you will lose.

- I'll go out for a walk.
- I'll come with you.

What are you worried about?

Do you think I'll stop Xiao Yao from getting married?

I am the King of Xiyan.

With the power I have, I can directly issue an imperial decree to cancel the wedding.

Or I can give a secret command to the assassins.

They will fulfill my wishes at all costs.

Just a single word

and I could avoid the pain.

But I will not do so.

Because this is what Xiao Yao wants.

No matter what she wants, I will give it to her.

I will take out my heart for her

if she wants it.

This is the life of a king.

We gain everything. But we also lose everything.

Grandfather, I am not like you.

I have never yearned to be a king.

I lost my father, my mother,

my grandmother, and my aunt.

I made it to this position.

All I want is to protect whatever I have.

But when I gained the power to protect everything,

I lost the only person I want to protect

We won't ever be parted as long as I'm your little sister.

All right, you're my little sister. And I'm your older brother forever.

No matter what, we'll be together forever.

Deal. Together forever.

We will never be parted.

Deal.

♫ 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 ♫

Princess. Do you want this rouge? Or that one?

Either is fine.

Princess. King of Haoling gave you a phoenix pendant.

Grand Majesty Sire gave you a cloud-pattern pendant.

- Which one do you want to wear today?
- Either works.

I've never seen a bride like you.

What should a bride be like?

If one day I can marry Brother Cangxuan, I will definitely be nervous.

I'll also be a bit scared that I'm not pretty enough.

From my accessories and jewelry to the color of my rouge, I will hand-pick everything.

I will look forward to my future with him.

It will make me smile.

And I'll be reluctant to leave my father and mother.

I will surely cry.

Are you anticipating or are you afraid?

Will you cry or will you laugh?

This is what every woman is like when she marries the man she loves.

Crying and laughing. Anticipating and afraid.

Sister, do you like Chief Chishui?

Boatman.

Boatman.

Boatman.

I go with the flow,

and the world is my home.

I taught you how to protect yourself.

Yet you just muddle along and idle around.

Did you ask for my permission?

Sister, I asked you a question.

Do you like Chief Chishui or not?

Fenglong is a handsome man from a good family.

He is of excellent character and has a good temperament.

Which noble lady in Dahuang wouldn't like such a gentleman?

I don't care if the others like Chishui Fenglong or not.

I'm asking if you like him.

Eldest Princess. We have arrived.

You can get off now.

I see.

You haven't changed into the wedding dress.

And the jewelry.

- Hurry. Don't be late.
- Hurry.

Stand up, please.

Hands up, please.

Chief. Princess' boat has arrived.

Look at me. Is there anything improper?

Not at all. Don't be so anxious.

I have to be anxious.

I'm marrying the most distinguished lady in Dahuang.

Sister of the King of Xiyan.

Daughter of King of Haoling.

Disciple of the Queen Mother.

Then you should be more at ease.

Because throughout Dahuang, with your status and ability, only you deserve the princess.

Makes sense. You'll be rewarded.

- The princess has arrived.
- The princess has arrived.

Let's greet the bride.

She's not only the most prestigious but also the prettiest lady in Dahuang.

You

s-saved me.

So I am your servant now.

Please name me.

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




"Nothing Can Be Compared to You" by 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 ♫
