[Perfect Couple]
Episode Twenty-Seven
Young Master!
Physician Gu asked me to hand this to you.
A cartel to a duel?
He's challenging me to a duel?
He seems to be serious about it.
Ignore him.
I know him really well.
Great cry and little wool.
Just ignore him.
Young Master, Physician Gu is still waiting for you.
Are you really not going to show up?
Young Master.
Physician Gu has been waiting in strong gusts of wind for hours.
Has this dork had enough yet?
Young Master, he'll keep waiting there if you don't show up.
Go on, tell me how you intend to challenge me to a duel.
Jin Yuan Bao, you've handled things in a perverse way
so you will not to be forgiven!
I, Gu Chang Feng, will sever all ties with you with the tearing of this robe.
I now sever our 20 years of friendship.
From this day on, we're no longer friends.
Stab me. Why aren't you stabbing me?
Fight back.
Why won't you fight back?
Yuan Bao...
Since I was little my mother told me that
we are the servants of the Jins.
I have to give in to you for everything.
But you have never treated me as a servant.
You said that we're friends. We are buddies.
I remember when I was seven years old
I wanted to understand the medicinal effects of musk from the Western Regions.
But this type of musk is very rare and precious.
There was only a tiny bit of it in the pouch
that Empress Dowager bestowed to you.
I soaked it in water and when my mother found out about what I did
she gave me a sound spanking.
Madam Jin reproached me as well.
You were the only one... You took my side and stood up for me.
You said that no matter how rare musk is it is but a worldly possession.
I remember that when I was 10 years old
I sneaked up to the mountains to collect some herbs.
I was lost and sprained my ankle.
I couldn't make my way home.
My mother was so anxious.
Madam sent the guards out to look for me as well.
But they couldn't find me anywhere.
When everyone was about to give up
only you... only you didn't give up on me.
You went looking for me with the guards.
Then you found me. I was almost starving to death by then.
You said that we had telepathy.
You said that you'd definitely be able to find me.
You said that we're best buddies.
Yuan Bao, for the sake of our 20 years of brotherhood
just let me be with Xue Er, will you?
Stop hurting all of us!
My buddy... One day, you will understand.
Everything I did, I did it for you.
Yuan Bao, you're such a jerk!
You are a jerk!
Madam and Young Master this way, please.
Is everything in order?
Rest assured that everything is in order.
This ceremony is extremely important.
No mistakes can be allowed.
I can assure you that everything will be in perfect order.
This way, please.
Don't forget to remind me to collect those bolts of fabric I've chosen today.
Don't forget about it.
And you, don't forget to braise some Bird Nest soup.
- Yes. - Get to work then.
- Yes. - Yes.
Mister Liu.
I've finally managed to find you.
Master, I've already carried out your orders.
Once Jin Yuan Bao ignites the cannon
he is sure to be blown into pieces.
Once Jin Yuan Bao is dead inform Second Prince immediately.
Yes, Sir.
My brother is going to blow Cousin Yuan Bao to pieces...
What should I do?
Young Master, everything is ready.
You may begin.
It's on fire!
It's on fire! Put out the fire!
There's a fire!
Put out the fire now! Hurry up!
Hurry up! Put out the fire!
Guards! Put out the fire!
Hurry up!
Some of you go over there!
'Someone is going to blow Jin Yuan Bao into pieces.'
Jin Yuan Bao, you are so unpopular.
So many people want you dead.
No... Today is his inauguration.
Young Mistress, aren't you supposed to be in the ancestral hall?
Why have you left that hall?
Wonderful!
20 years ago, the other foreign tribes invaded our country.
We had a crisis at our borders.
Imperial General Jin Da Tong led the army to battle.
He fought until his last drop of blood ran dry. He died for our country.
The Imperial Court officials suggested
since Jin family was left with a widowed mother and child
that the Bureau of Weaponry be taken from us and another elected to take over.
His Majesty went against all odds.
Bureau of Weaponry isn't just a place that produces weapons for the country
but also a symbol of peace and security for the Imperial Court and the nation.
General Jin might be dead but his son still lives.
As long as the Bureau is still in the hands of Jin family
it will not fall into the hands of villains
or used as an accessory to stealing weapons of our country!
20 years went by in the blink of an eye.
I, the widow, have taken over the Bureau for 20 years now.
Now, my son Jin Yuan Bao
is a grown man.
Yuan Bao, you have inherited your father's
loyal and patriotic spirit that compels you to protect our people.
I have already submitted an official paper to his Majesty today
to have you take over the Bureau of Weaponry from this day onward.
Are you ready?
Your son, Jin Yuan Bao is sure to live up to your expectations.
I will protect the Bureau.
I am bestowed with grace by His Majesty
and inherited my late father's last wish
to stay loyal to the Emperor and our country until the day I die.
Fantastic!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
As the saying goes
'Good tools are a prerequisite to the successful execution of a job.'
All of the most powerful weapons in Ming Dynasty
are produced here in our Bureau.
His Majesty entrusted Bureau of Weaponry to Jin family
out of his trust in us.
The Jin family is sure to work together
to protect the lands of the great Ming!
Long live the Emperor!
This cannon had once attained great achievements.
His Majesty bestowed the title 'General of Invincible Might' to it.
Therefore, we are to ignite this cannon here in the Bureau today
to demonstrate the military powers of our country
and achieve glory once again!
The ceremony of the ignition of the cannon now begins!
- Stop right there! - Get out of my way!
I'm Young Mistress Jin! Let me in!
Get out of my way!
Stop right there! Get off the horse!
- Stop right there! - Get out of my way!
Yuan Bao!
Watch out!
Auntie, watch out!
Yuan Bao!
Yuan Bao?
- Yuan Bao! - Young Master Jin...
- Yuan Bao! - Young Master Jin!
Yuan Bao, wake up!
- Yuan Bao! - Young Master Jin!
Young Master Jin!
- Yuan Bao! - Yuan Bao!
Yuan Bao, does it hurt?
Say something!
What did you say?
What?
I asked if it still hurts!
Yuan Bao, you can't hear us?
Imperial Physician, what is the matter with him now?
Madam Jin, please don't panic.
Young Master isn't injured.
Then why can't he hear us?
He's suffered an impact from the explosion
and temporarily lost his hearing.
Temporary?
Are you saying that he's deaf?
He's only temporarily deaf.
Once he is fully rested and recuperated
he will regain his hearing very soon.
How long will it take?
That's hard to tell. It's different for everyone.
But Young Master is at the prime of his youth
it shouldn't take him too long to recover.
Madam Jin and Young Mistress please do not be worried.
I'll prescribe some medication to Young Master.
He should be confined to his bed to rest well.
Ah Fu, go and get the medication.
- Yes, My Lady. - Thank you.
Yuan Bao! Did you hear that?
You have to rest well!
You will get well very soon!
You have to rest well!
This is all to your credit.
But how did you know that someone was going to hurt Yuan Bao?
When I was in the ancestral hall someone threw in a slip of paper
that said that Yuan Bao would be blown to pieces.
What?
At first, I thought it was a prank.
But then the more I think about it the weirder it gets.
Then the ancestral hall was on fire
and the door was unlocked so I barged out right away.
Do you know who gave you that slip?
I have no idea.
Take good care of Yuan Bao.
Don't worry, Mother. I'll take good care of Yuan Bao.
All right.
Can you hear me?
Didn't you promise me that Yuan Bao will have a glorious inauguration?
I have failed you.
Although I have planned with great caution and detail
there is still a flaw in the plan.
Jin family has been in charge of the Bureau for so many years now
and there has never been any accidents!
Now that the new master assumes office today
and yet he was nearly blown to pieces by the cannon that we produced!
Even if His Majesty doesn't question us about this matter
we'll still become a laughing stock if this is found out!
What will be left of our reputation?
This cannon was under the supervision of Supervisor Qin.
As for the details I'm not fully aware of them.
Before the ceremony
shouldn't everything be examined very closely?
Yes, it should be done according to regulations.
As for the specifics we'd have to ask Supervisor Qin.
But we just got news that he was killed in the explosion.
I'm afraid this might not be an accident.
Auntie, you mean...
Someone is reluctant to let Yuan Bao take over this position.
Wen Zhao, Yuan Bao must be confined to his bed to recuperate.
I want you to head back to the Bureau right away to investigate.
Give me an answer and to report back to His Majesty
as well as all the Imperial Court officials.
I understand and will do my very best.
Here.
Wen Zhao, fortunately you reacted very quickly today
or my old bones might have been scattered over there as well.
These days there will be many things to take care of.
General's Manor and Bureau of Weaponry...
I'll have to burden you with the tasks.
Take care of everything here and there.
I understand, Auntie.
Thank you for your trust in me.
I will be bound to my duties.
After a few days, when Yuan Bao is fully recovered
he will need someone like you to help you out.
I understand.
By the way, how is Yuan Bao's injury?
Imperial Physician has examined him.
He is not wounded.
He's lost his hearing temporarily.
Auntie, don't be too worried.
Gods protect good men.
He will recover very soon.
I will take my leave.
How is it? Are you feeling better?
I say, are you deaf in the left ear or the right one?
I can't hear you!
You can't hear me?
You... How dare you be so bold
as to lock me up in the Jin family's ancestral hall!
You treat me like a puppy or a kitten
When you like them you give them hugs and kisses.
Then you kick them away when you don't like them anymore.
If no one had let me out
I'd have burned up in your ancestral hall.
Jin Yuan Bao, if you dare to bully me again
I won't ever save you again.
I'll just get some nice wine and sit on the rooftop and watch you get blown up!
What what? You can't hear me, right?
That's great!
Listen up! Jin Yuan Bao is such a jerk, do you get it?
Nod your head.
Right, let me continue.
Not only are you a jerk
but you're also arrogant, snobby
selfish, have no respect for others
and you have no good qualities at all, right?
Nod.
That's right!
Listen up! You are a huge jerk.
Jin Yuan Bao, you have to know that you are a huge jerk
idiot, fool, and an unreasonable asshole!
Nod!
This is fantastic!
I've never loved you as much as I do now!
You've finally admitted that you're a jerk, right?
Good boy!
All right, you must nod every time I call you stupid. Get it?
Well done!
Ah Fu!
Are you looking for your idiotic young master?
He's here.
Ah Fu!
Over here!
- What? - There's another deaf guy!
I've brought Miss Xue Er some food.
Open the door, please.
Go on in.
Let me out!
Who are you to keep me captive?
I don't belong to Jin Manor.
Why are you keeping me captive here? Is there no law?
- Miss Xue Er... - Go away!
Young Master has orders you are not to leave this chamber without his permission.
Let me go!
Is there no law? Go away!
Who are you to keep me captive?
- Xue Er? - Young Mistress!
- Let go of me! - Get out of the way!
Young Mistress!
What are you doing here?
Young Mistress, you're finally here.
Jin Yuan Bao said he's taking me as his concubine.
He's locked me in here until the day of the wedding.
Jin Yuan Bao?
Ah Fu, what is this about?
Young Mistress, Young Master has orders
that no one is to let Miss Xue Er leave without his permission.
Young Master gave orders?
All right, I'll let your Young Master agree to free Miss Xue Er now.
Jin Yuan Bao!
I'm going to free Miss Xue Er now.
Do you agree?
Young Master... She's called you.
You've really agreed?
Look, your Young Master has agreed to free her.
Hurry up and let her go free.
Since Young Master has consented what are you waiting for?
Miss Xue Er, this way, please.
Let's go.
Jin Yuan Bao is a jerk, right?
Well done!
Young Master... you're a jerk?
Chang Feng!
Xue Er?
- Xue Er! - Chang Feng.
Thank goodness that I've finally gotten to see you.
I'll never let you leave me again.
You'll strangle her to death if you hug her so tightly.
By the way, where is Jin Yuan Bao?
I'm going to get even with him.
It's pointless trying to get even with him now.
He was hurt in an explosion.
What? He was hurt in an explosion?
I heard quite a racket going on out there from inside the room
but I didn't know something so serious happened.
Who is the culprit? Where did the explosion take place?
What was blown up?
The inauguration at Bureau of Weaponry was blown up by the cannon.
This is all my fault.
I've gotten Jin Yuan Bao into trouble.
What has the explosion got to do with you?
This is what happened.
Last night, I made a small figurine out of wood.
I kept cursing him.
I've never wanted to hurt Jin Yuan Bao.
I was just very angry at him.
Who knew that he would really get into trouble?
How is Yuan Bao right now?
Is he seriously injured? I have medication.
He's all right.
It's just that his ears were damaged.
His ears were damaged?
No... What is his condition now?
- Is it serious? - Imperial Physician examined him.
He's lost his hearing temporarily.
Thank goodness that nothing serious has happened to him.
This is all my fault.
You're such a dork even if you had a cannon
you wouldn't be able to do anything like that.
Someone tampered with the cannon and wanted to kill Jin Yuan Bao.
Fortunately, I got there in time.
Otherwise, he'd have become a pile of ashes.
Who would want to kill Jin Yuan Bao?
I only wanted to scare him off by drugging him.
Who would want to kill him?
How would I know?
I'm already very frustrated.
Chang Feng, why don't you get some medication to treat Jin Yuan Bao's ears?
You're right. I'll go and get it ready.
You're the one who saved him?
He got us into such a predicament.
How could I just let him die like that?
Moreover, I did lie to him.
If I never get the chance to tell him the truth
I'll never untangle that knot in my heart.
Didn't you say that you'd look for a chance to tell him the truth?
But I could only tell him when the both of you have left safely.
It's too dangerous in Jin manor.
The sooner you leave, the safer you are.
Why don't you leave with us?
If I left with you
none of us would be able to leave this place.
But...
Don't worry. I'll finish with what I started
and leave this place safely.
Stop right there! Who are you?
We're from the General's Manor and this is written permission from Madam Jin.
During the period of time that Jin Yuan Bao is severely ill
the head housekeeper of the Manor will act as the deputy commander.
This takes effect as of today.
Deputy commander?
Yes, I now call the shots here at the Bureau of Weaponry.
Open the gates.
Yes, open the gates!
By the orders of Madam Jin, I am here to investigate the explosion.
Everyone of you will have to be questioned by me.
Moreover, all unit chiefs will be
temporarily suspended from their duties.
I will take over all duties for the moment.
Master Liu, these are all the keys here at the Bureau.
Hand them over to me.
From this moment onward none of you are allowed
to enter or leave the premises without my permission.
During this exceptional period every action here in the bureau
must be examined by me.
Do you understand?
Understood!
Yuan Bao, acupuncture is good for your ears.
Bear with it.
I forgot that you can't hear anything.
It's all right!
These couple of days that he's lost his hearing
I managed to have a peaceful time.
When Yuan Bao can hear again
will he bring up the matter of taking concubines again?
I dare him to!
As long as I am in Jin Manor
I'll never allow a second woman to be by his side.
If he even dares to fiddle around with women
I'll be the first to blow him up.
Xiao Xuan, you're so macho.
I'll leave the future of me and Xue Er in your good hands.
Our future happiness now relies on you.
You have to be responsible for it.
We'd better not let Yuan Bao bring up having a concubine again.
Yuan Bao, there's something on my mind for a very long time.
I've been meaning to tell you.
But I am scared.
I'm scared that once I've told you frightening events might happen.
So... I've always been scared to tell you about it.
It's all right if I died for it.
But I'm not willing to implicate Xue Er into this.
If I don't tell you about it
this matter will have weighed on my mind for far too long.
I feel really awful about it.
Now that you can't hear me
I'll tell you about it.
I only have the courage to say it when you can't hear me.
Yuan Bao...
I've actually lied to you.
I am not Jiang Xiao Xuan.
Neither am I the Young Mistress of Prime Minister Jiang's Manor.
My real name is Yu Qi Ling.
I am a girl who grew up in E-Mei Mountain.
I don't even know who my parents are.
My foster mother was the one who raised me.
That day, I accidentally ended up in Heng Chang Inn.
Jiang Xiao Xuan ran away that night before the wedding.
She ran away
but I was trapped in her room.
I couldn't get away.
Then they dressed me up for the wedding.
That was how I ended up being wrongly married into Jin family.
This is the marriage that is bestowed by Empress Dowager.
How would I dare to reveal the truth?
If this is exposed
mishaps will befall us.
But the longer I stay here with you in Jin Manor
the more upset I get from keeping you in the dark.
I finally made up my mind to tell you the truth
but then, God pulled a prank on us
and Jiang Xiao Xuan ended up being at Jin Manor as well.
I couldn't tell you the truth.
If I told you that I married you instead of Jiang Xiao Xuan
she would also be implicated.
But I get really upset having these words stuck in my throat.
I've been looking for a chance
to tell you the truth slowly
after Xiao Xuan has left the manor
and is safely settled down.
I don't know how you will react
after I tell you the truth.
Perhaps you'll be furious...
perhaps you'll punish me...
perhaps I will die for it...
But none of this matters to me.
I did make these mistakes
so I'm not scared to pay the price for them.
I am willing to take the responsibility.
What I am frightened of
is that you won't want me anymore.
Yuan Bao...
Although I've lied to you
I really never meant to do that.
My identity is false
but my feelings for you are real.
I have even hoped that I was the real Jiang Xiao Xuan...
so I could be with you forever.
I really am a coward.
Only now that you can't hear me at all
do I have the courage to say these words to you.
Because I'm scared that you'd be angry at me.
I'm scared that you'd never ever talk to me again.
Silly girl.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Our plan was so cautiously drafted and carried out.
Yet Jin Yuan Bao is still alive.
Get up first.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Your Highness, there are indeed some problems
in the execution of our plan.
No one has expected Young Mistress to suddenly barge in.
I have already heard about that.
This Miss Jiang first got through various obstacles
and then made it through the beseigements
to rescue Jin Yuan Bao right in front of the cannon.
This woman's martial arts are of such great skill.
I have investigated into that matter in secret.
She was very sickly when she was young and was forced to practice martial arts
to build up her strength and is therefore very skilled.
Liu Wen Zhao, why do I think that you are still hiding something else from me?
Every word I have said is true.
But how did she learn of our plan
and manage to save Jin Yuan Bao in time?
This...
As of what happened that day only a few people
including the both of us, knew about it.
So how did this matter get leaked out?
Liu Wen Zhao, I am truly baffled.
Your Highness, Jin Yuan Bao is still recuperating
and Madam Jin has not suspected me.
She even asked me to investigate into the matter.
Although we didn't manage to kill Jin Yuan Bao in the explosion
I now have the Bureau of Weaponry in my hands.
And we now have our men planted in crucial positions.
So as long as Jin Yuan Bao isn't fully recovered
the Bureau of Weaponry will be at my disposal.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Not bad... Not bad at all!
Liu Wen Zhao, you are still of some use after all.
Your Highness, thank you for your compliments.
But there are still people that should be gotten rid of.
Since this particular person knows that the cannon would blow up
then this person could also know who is behind this matter.
If this person stays alive it might mean trouble.
Are you going to get rid of this person or should I do it?
Please leave this matter to me.
Your Highness will not be implicated.
Crown Prince has already taken over the supervision of the nation for days.
Our clock is ticking. If we don't make good use of our time to ruin the marriage bond
between the Jins and Jiangs
it will be difficult to reach our goal.
I understand.
Wen Zhao, come here.
Come on over here.
This Seven Star dagger has been with me for many years.
It slices through hair.
It is the rarest sharp weapon in the world.
Do you like it?
It is Your Highness' treasured item. I wouldn't dare think of it.
I'm giving it to you.
You don't want it?
Your Highness, thank you for bestowing this dagger to me.
This dagger has never been idle.
You can use it either on Jin Yuan Bao or save it for yourself.
I understand.
Only the both of us knew about the plan.
How did it leak out?
Could you be suspecting that...
Have you said a word to anyone?
Definitely not! I know the seriousness of this matter.
I couldn't possibly talk about it to anyone.
That's weird then.
The information must have leaked from the Manor.
Otherwise, Young Mistress couldn't possibly be quick enough
to save Jin Yuan Bao at Bureau of Weaponry.
It must be the same person who freed her from the ancestral hall
as well as informing her of our plans.
Who could be capable of that here in Jin Manor?
If you won't believe in me I can take my life now.
Put down the sword.
If I didn't believe you you wouldn't be alive.
It's just that I find this matter too bizarre.
- Higher! - Yes.
Higher! Higher!
Yuan Bao, do you know that
I sometimes find you extremely annoying
and you make me so angry that I want to send you flying with a kick?
But sometimes I find you so adorable.
I really don't get it.
You obviously made me so angry
but I still can't seem to get you out of my mind.
You heard me?
Be careful! There are stones on the ground! Don't trip over them!
Are you all right?
You obviously still can't hear anything yet.
Here, let's go.
Seriously...
I told you not to walk there but you insisted.
What should I do with you?
And you are deaf.
Look at that small frame of yours.
You have to train now.
If I hadn't been skilled in martial arts since I was little
how could I possibly have defeated those guards so swiftly
and rescued you back from the gates of Hades?
I forgot that you can't hear me with that problem in your ears.
