Murong Ci saw a bullock cart on the side with a coffin on it.

The discussion of the onlookers flooded like a tide.

The beautiful girl listened to the comments from the onlookers and knew that the inn wouldn't let her in, so she gave up, lifted the bullock cart, and prepared to take it to leave and go looking for another inn.

A kind-hearted lady said:

"The girl doesn't have to go to another inn.

There won't be an inn willing to let you in.

You might as well take the coffin to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the City."

After hearing this, the girl thanked her, and was going to stay at the temple.

Qin Ruo sympathized:

"It's not easy for a girl to walk such a long road in a bullock cart on such a hot day."

'Isn't that right?'

Murong Ci saw that the girl's clothes were soaked, and that she must have walked along the way for a long time.

"I wonder what are the circumstances for her to bring the coffin to the Capital."

"Should this subordinate go and ask?"

Qin Ruo said.

"Go."

Murong Ci suddenly felt that this matter was a bit weird.

People must go to the soil for safety when they die.

No one would take the corpse of their loved ones and go so far away.

'Could it be that the girl was wronged?'

Qin Ruo bought two steamed buns for the girl, and said kindly:

"Girl, you should eat these two steamed buns first.

The girl is not from the Capital, right?

Is the person in the coffin your relatives?

Shouldn't dead people be buried into the soil and rest in peace when they die?

Then Why? Why did you pull the coffin all the way to the Capital?"

The girl saw her friendly, and said:

"My brother is dead, and I took him to the Capital to avenge him."

Qin Ruo was surprised,

"Oh? Was your brother killed by someone?"

The girl nodded firmly,

"I must seek justice for my brother."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to the Justice Ministry, in the Jingzhao Mansion to complain about grievances!

If they don't accept the case, I will go to the Imperial Court!"

The girl said categorically, with a very determined tone.

Murong Ci walked over and said gently:

"The girl has traveled thousands of miles to defend her brother's grievances.

It is very touching and admirable.

So I'd better give you some advice.

Have you heard about the Royal King?

The Royal King is the Prince Regent of our Country.

He's kindhearted and loves our Country's Citizens like his own son.

You might as well file a lawsuit with the Royal King.

He will definitely send the case of your brother's unjust death to the Supreme Court of the Dali Temple and avenge your brother's grievance."

The girl was ecstatic,

"Really? Will the Royal King really help me?"

Qin Ruo agreed:

"Everyone in the Capital knows that the Royal King is a virtuous Prince of the Dynasty.

He is just and rigorous.

Anyone who complains to him will get a fair and just trial."

The girl smiled and thanked,

"Thank you for your advice."

Murong Ci said again:

"Take the coffin to the Royal Palace and kneel down in front of the Gate with a piece of white paper pasted on the coffin and one on your forehead that says "Injustice" in big."

"Then kneel down shouting:

I implore the Royal King to avenge my elder brother.

Please think about what you want to ask specifically."

"If someone drives you away, you will kneel and kneel until the Regent comes out."

Qin Ruo added, more and more amused.

"Girl, go now."

Murong Ci encouraged.

"Thank you, the two Lords."

The girl hurriedly pulled the bullock cart to the Royal Palace.

Murong Ci and Qin Ruo laughed loudly, and Qin Ruo asked in a low voice,

"Your Highness, why did you let that girl go to the Royal Palace?"

"He is way too idle, so this Prince must find something for him to be busy with."

"But the Prince will definitely hand this matter to the Dali Temple for investigation."

"Isn't that just right? Anyway, the Dali Temple isn't that busy recently."

Murong Ci imagined the scene of Murong Yu hearing someone shouting grievances at the Gate and accompanied by a coffin.

That must be very funny.

Thinking about this, she felt less hungry, and went to the Royal Palace with Qin Ruo.
