[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?

 

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!

 

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.

 

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!

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.
