Chapter 356 Discovering the secret prison
Li Yi led people to break into the searched courtyard again, but at this time the place was already deserted, and the several waves of guards who went to search soon returned.

"Your Majesty, no one was found."

"Your Majesty, there is no one in this courtyard!"

"Your Majesty, we found a secret prison!"

When Li Yi heard this, he immediately followed the guards.

The entrance to the secret cell is in the lobby, which is usually blocked by a row of bookshelves. It is not a very delicate place, but most people would not put such important things in the lobby, but would put them in a more hidden room.

In this way, it will be less likely to be noticed.

After Li Yi went down with the guards, he walked through the long corridor and finally stopped in a dark, damp and narrow dark room.

He suddenly looked up.

"This is the courtyard where we just entered the gate?"

The guard next to him nodded: "Yes, the entire space below was hollowed out under the courtyard. My subordinates have already found out that this house was originally the private property of an official. Later, something happened to the official, and the house was taken over. The mortgage has gone out, and the current owner is just a humble businessman, but when we came to search before, it didn’t look like the businessman’s family members lived here.”

Li Yi looked back.

The guard continued: "There is no young woman in the businessman's family, only an old mother and only son. After the death of his wife, he did not take any concubines or continue his marriage. When the officers and soldiers came here to search, they clearly said that a young woman lived here. That businessman I don’t have a wife at home, so I can’t keep an outside wife here.”

"Go find the businessman and inquire about it. No matter how carefully you search the house, don't miss anything suspicious at this time."

"Yes."

Li Yi then led his men out of the secret cell. As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the house, he saw the servants from the palace running over in a hurry.

"My lord!"

Li Yi disappeared on the runway and gasped: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Uncle Fu... Uncle Fu has a sudden illness."

Li Yi's expression changed slightly immediately, and the guards who followed him were also shocked by the news. Uncle Fu had been serving the prince since he was a child, and he had always treated the prince with all his heart and responsibilities, which made the prince respect responsibility more.

Can……

Isn’t Fu Bo always in good health?
"Your Majesty." The guard whispered: "If Your Majesty is worried, leave the matters here to your subordinates. The subordinates will also send people to the Emperor's side. Your Majesty, please go back and take a look before rushing to the Emperor?"

Li Yi frowned for a moment and asked the boy, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor who was invited said that Uncle Fu is old and has many physical problems that are not visible at ordinary times, but can be fatal when they occur. Now it is very dangerous."

Li Yi immediately handed his token to the boy: "Take the token and go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial doctor. Tell Uncle Fu that he must endure this hurdle. I will go back to visit him after my work."

The boy took the token and ran away without delay.

The guard looked at Li Yi from the side: "Your Majesty?"

Li Yi took a deep breath, and after a moment he came back to his senses and raised his hand: "Let's go."

At night, Li Yicai returned to the palace exhausted, and immediately went to visit Uncle Fu without taking a rest.

Uncle Fu was over sixty years old, with gray hair and deep and shallow wrinkles on his face. He was lying on the bed silently, with a boy guarding him. When he saw Li Yi come in, the boy wanted to speak. Li Yi He raised his hand to stop it.

Li Yi glanced at Fo Bo on the bed, and his eyes signaled the boy to come outside to talk.

When they got outside, Li Yi asked: "Has the imperial doctor been here? What should I say?"

"The imperial doctor said that Uncle Fu is old and the disease is so severe that he doesn't know if he can survive it." "..."

Li Yi was silent for a moment and slowly closed his eyes.

"Prepare everything you need to prepare."

"Yes."

After a long time, Li Yi returned to the house. Uncle Fu had already woken up. His eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were dark. He looked like Mo Yang, who was about to die soon.

Li Yi put on a relaxed look and sat down next to him.

"Uncle Fu, how do you feel?"

Uncle Fu shook his head and struggled to sit up: "Your Majesty, I know the condition of my body best. This is because the imperial doctor prescribes medicine to save my life, but it never succeeds. This is what I do. I feel sorry that I haven’t seen the prince get married and start a career.”

"..." Li Yi pursed his lips slightly: "Uncle Fu, you..."

"Your Majesty, this time I will talk too much. Do you want me to finish it?"

Li Yi looked at Uncle Fu's eyes and fell silent immediately. He nodded slowly for a while and sat there quietly listening to Uncle Fu start talking about the past.

Before I knew it, 20 years had passed. At that time, when I was suffering day by day, I felt like time had stood still. It was at that time that Fu Bo started to serve me by his side. He was on guard at first, just like he was with everyone else, but Fu Bo himself was not. My child is extremely serious every time he does anything related to him.

We got along unknowingly, and it felt like that time passed in the blink of an eye.

"The prince has been very hard these years. He has helped the emperor deal with so many things, and his hands are stained with countless blood. The old slave feels distressed just looking at it, but there is nothing he can do about it."

Uncle Fu moved towards Li Yi as he spoke.

Li Yi looked a little disappointed.

At this moment, Uncle Fu suddenly gained strength and slipped a dagger out of his sleeve, and he quickly stabbed Li Yi!
Li Yi felt a cold light flash before his eyes, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it. The sharp dagger cut open his palm, but the next moment he was knocked to the ground by Li Yi. Li Yi grabbed Fu Bo's hand and twisted it. Fu Bo was in pain. With a whimper, he completely fell off the bed.

Li Yi's expression was cold, and he stepped forward and looked down at Uncle Fu who was struggling to get up.

"Who sent you here!"

At this moment, the people guarding outside quickly came in. When the two guards saw this scene, they quickly reacted and stepped forward to drag Fu Bo up and control him.

Li Yi glanced at him, and the two guards investigated him, with strange expressions on their faces: "Your Majesty... there is no human skin mask."

"..."

Li Yi looked at Uncle Fu silently, with disbelief in his eyes.

"Uncle Fu, do you want to kill me?"

Uncle Fu's face was still ugly. He looked away and ignored Li Yi's gaze, and simply said: "Your Majesty, this old slave is not childless."

Li Yi looked complicated: "So from the beginning, you came to me with a purpose, and it was arranged by the Queen Mother? Why didn't you take action when there were so many opportunities in the past, and you had to wait until now?"

"I don't know, I was just following orders."

Li Yi took a deep look at Uncle Fu and smiled bitterly: "If you want to kill me, why bother to torture yourself to death before you do it?"
