White Cat Legend Episode 12 Recap
> White Cat Legend Recap
After dancing among several ministers, the Hu person made an asking gesture towards the Empress. Wu Zetian realized that the Hu person seemed to want to convey some message through his movements, so she gave her approval, and also requested that if ministerial cooperation was needed, they should assist to the best of their ability. The Hu person then returned to Li Bing, gesturing for Li Bing to remove his mask.
Alibaba wanted to invite Shangguan Qin to visit the Emperor's Birthday Festival night market with him, so he asked Hu Si for help. Alibaba was always generous, and Hu Si, receiving gold coins, was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling, agreeing to help Alibaba persuade Shangguan Qin to go to the night market. Seeing Shangguan Qin return to her room with two attendants, Alibaba dismissed the two attendants, saying he would stand guard for Shangguan Qin.
The two attendants knew he was from Court of Judicial Review, and after receiving a tip, they withdrew. Wang Qi's parents suggested visiting Court of Judicial Review, saying that since it was their first time in Shendu, they must experience it thoroughly. Wang Qi could only agree. The few of them walked into Court of Judicial Review heavy with worry. Wang Qi's mother suddenly noticed something strange. Except for Wang Qi, the others were all wearing official robes.
Wang Qi stammered for a long time, and had to ask Cui Bei to find an official robe for him to change into. That wasn't all. The two also proposed that Wang Qi should personally review official documents in front of them. The few of them exchanged glances. Cui Bei still found an official document for Wang Qi. Chen Shi was sweating profusely nearby, feeling that they had gone too far and it would be difficult to resolve.
The Hu person began his physical performance. Li Bing was responsible for the commentary. The commentary corresponded with the Hu person's performance. The Empress was also very satisfied. As the performance was nearing its end, the Hu person kept approaching Li Bing and provoking him. Li Bing vaguely felt that expression was similar to the expression of Yi Zhi Hua when they fought in the slave camp, so he reached out and removed the mask.
Unexpectedly, behind one layer of mask was another mask. Li Bing was greatly surprised. The Empress bestowed her favorite lanterns upon Li Bing and the Hu person. Wang Qi's parents were still excitedly touring Court of Judicial Review. The two even ran into the main hall. Chen Shi calculated that Li Bing might be returning to Court of Judicial Review soon, and signaled Sun Bao to quickly guide Wang Qi's parents back to Alibaba's mansion.
As the few of them were preparing to return to the mansion, Shangguan Qin happened to pass by Mingjing Hall, and encountered Wang Qi's parents. After Shangguan Qin revealed her identity, Wang Qi's parents thought she was their son's colleague, and gave her detailed instructions. Shangguan Qin felt increasingly suspicious, and finally realized that Wang Qi was impersonating the Deputy Minister.
After reprimanding him, Wang Qi's father saw that his son didn't have a waist token, and understood that his son was lying, so he chased after Wang Qi to beat him. Li Bing happened to return to Court of Judicial Review carrying a lantern, and saw the mix-up caused by Wang Qi clearly. Wang Qi's parents pleaded with Li Bing to be lenient.
Shangguan Qin also stated that when she was the sole Deputy Minister of Court of Judicial Review, Wang Qi was relatively diligent. Li Bing decided to keep Wang Qi in Court of Judicial Review, but he must be demoted. If he performs well in the future, he will have a chance to return to Mingjing Hall. After Wang Qi returned to Court of Judicial Review, the few of them took turns teaching Chen Shi knowledge.
Cui Bei was responsible for teaching arithmetic, Sun Bao taught martial arts, and Wang Qi taught how to identify people and objects. Chen Shi felt overwhelmed, so he went to the riverside to confide in Yuan Buer. Yuan Buer gave him a divination, predicting that Chen Shi might have news of his brother in a few days. The news would come from the north, and would be related to water.
As soon as he heard there might be news of his brother, Chen Shi was very happy. On his way back to Court of Judicial Review, he collided with a passerby, and picked up a purse. Chen Shi began looking for the owner. After turning a corner, he saw a cart driver pulling a water cart looking down and searching for something, so he went forward to ask.
The cart driver said he had just lost a purse, so Chen Shi returned the purse to the cart driver. Back at Court of Judicial Review, Chen Shi was given a pile of tasks again. Alibaba told Li Bing that his family had sent him money, and when he went to the dock to receive it, he found the dock crowded with people. Upon closer inspection, a murder had occurred at the Dragon King Temple.
