She returned to her maiden family, the Ji family, and entered the dungeon with her father and brother.

In the dungeon, the foolish secret guard was sitting in the innermost cell, laughing foolishly. He was drooling and even had piss all around him.

Consort Yi stood outside the cell, covering her mouth and nose. Her eyes were filled with disgust. “Didn’t you say that he was only a fool? Why…”

Ji Qiwei also covered his mouth and nose in disgust, but he replied, “He was just a silly child who could talk a little before. Who knew that he would become like this after being treated by the doctors? He can’t even speak now. He even needs help to pee and defecate. He doesn’t even know how to eat and has to be fed. Knowing that you were coming, this cell was actually cleaned just now, but he couldn’t help but… Ah whatever!”

Ji Qiwei sighed deeply. He felt that this person could not be cured.

Marquis Ji clasped his hands behind his back, looking somewhat worried. “Why don’t we change to another batch of doctors?”

Consort Yi frowned.

Ji Qiwei said, “It’s possible to change him, but Father. If we change them, it means that yet another person will know that this fool is here. It’s not good for us to kill all the doctors. Not only are we watching the Shao family, but the Shao family must be watching us too. If the Shao family finds out that there’s a fool in our dungeon, they will definitely want to investigate. If they find out that it’s the secret guard from back then, will the Shao family take action?”

“If he can’t be cured, let’s just kill him.” Consort Yi continued to cover her mouth and nose as she spoke. “If he falls into the hands of the Shao family and they cure him, wouldn’t we be giving way to others?”

“That’s true, but we should give the doctors more time.” Marquis Ji muttered to himself as he spoke. “This person has been st*pid for so many years. It’s difficult to cure him in a short period of time. We can’t be too anxious. If these doctors still can’t cure him after a period of time, only then will be change to another doctor to continue treating him. This person knows where the Crown Prince is, he shouldn’t be killed off that easily. If the Shao family really finds out and dares to take action, only then we’ll kill him. In any case, we won’t let him fall into the hands of the Shao family.”

Consort Yi was a very impatient person, but she knew that her father’s words made sense, so she nodded.

Ji Qiwei had never dared to disobey his father, so he naturally agreed as well.

“Pull him out.” Consort Yi suddenly ordered. The stench in the cell was getting worse. She would not go in.

“As you wish!” Immediately, two people opened the cell door and pulled the st*pid secret guard up.

After they pulled him out, the two of them made the fool kneel. The fool was even more foolish now. He didn’t even know how to eat anymore. How could he kneel? Even if the two of them pressed him down, he wouldn’t kneel. He just lay in front of Consort Yi, his face pressed against the cold ground, and he kept smiling foolishly as his drool gathered into a puddle.

Consort Yi stepped back in disgust as she stared at the person on the ground and said, “Father, do you think he might be faking it?”

“How is this possible?” Ji Qiwei immediately laughed. “If he was pretending, he wouldn’t have been able to keep it up for seven years. He would have already tried to contact the Shao family. He wouldn’t have waited for us to find him by accident.”

“That’s true.” Consort Yi nodded, no longer suspicious of this.

Then there was no reason to stay in this dungeon any longer. Consort Yi was about to leave, but just as she turned around, she saw a travel-worn person rushing into the dungeon.

He didn’t even have time to bow to anyone and quickly reported, “Sir, something bad has happened. The Empress Dowager has been found.. She’s probably looking for the Crown Prince as well!”
