Chapter 1923 The Phoenix Clan: Home of the Common People
"Send word out that I fell ill after a long journey."
Concubine Ya lay down and waved her hand.
"By the way, I'll arrange a trip to Fenglan Inn tomorrow. If the queen doesn't want me to have an easy time, her people won't have an easy time either!"
"yes."
The palace maid was blessed and went over to untie the curtain on the bed.
"Have a good rest, I know what to do."
At noon the next day, Concubine Ya led dozens of people to Fenglan Inn.
The battle outside has been going on for some time, and there are only a few people left on the streets.
Many shops are closed, and Fenglan Inn is one of the few shops that is open for business.
Concubine Ya raised her troops and walked struttingly on the street. The people looked at the women on the sedan and gathered together in twos and threes.
Fenglan Inn received the news, and the shopkeeper came out with someone to welcome him.
"Get out of the way!"
A guard ran forward and shouted, "Concubine Ya is here in person, why don't you get out of the way quickly?"
The clerks backed away one after another to make way.
"See the Imperial Concubine."
The shopkeeper knelt down.
The rest of the people knelt down and said in unison: "See you, Your Majesty."
"Get up, cough..." Concubine Ya, with the support of two palace maids, stepped on the back of one palace maid and got off the sedan.
She kept covering her lips and coughed from time to time, looking a little weak.
"Concubine Xie Ya's grace!"
Everyone kowtowed and stood up.
"Don't be thankful too early."
The guard snorted coldly, "The imperial concubine has received a secret report that there are criminals here."
"Hurry up and hand over the criminal! Don't hurt the innocent."
"The villain doesn't understand what the imperial concubine means."
The shopkeeper cupped his hands and raised his eyes.
"Fenglan Inn has a history of more than 20 years among the Feng people. It has always been law-abiding and has never done anything illegal."
"How dare you, the villain, to ask the noble concubine what she means?"
"Isn't it illegal to harbor criminals and help criminals escape?"
Concubine Ya was so excited that she coughed again.
"You...really think you can hide it from the truth?"
"My Lady, you are feeling ill, so you should go back and rest first."
The palace maid looked worried.
Concubine Ya shook her clothes and stared at the person in front of her, frowning.
"How can I feel at ease when the royal family is in trouble?
If you don’t hand over the criminal today, don’t blame me for being rude!”
"If there is no criminal, how can we hand him over?"
The shopkeeper looked at Concubine Ya, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Your Majesty, do you know what the Fenglan Inn stands for?"
"Ha..." Concubine Ya shook her head, "Do you think you can do whatever you want with the queen's backing?"
"If you hadn't assisted Lord Ye in escaping, the Phoenix Clan would not be in the turmoil it is today."
"Come here! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find the criminal!"
"Wait!"
The shopkeeper opened his arms and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't understand why you want to frame the Queen."
"The villain is not referring to the Queen, but this is not only an inn, but also a home for the common people."
"Unless there is the emperor's will, no one can destroy it!"
"Rebellion!"
The guard snorted coldly, "Who are you that dare to talk to the imperial concubine like this?"
Dozens of soldiers armed with spears gathered in front of the inn.
Suddenly, a group of people ran out from the side door of the inn.
Among them, some were old, some were young, some were men, some were women, and they were all dressed simply.
"Who are you?"
The guard looked at the person blocking the road and asked in a deep voice.
