Chapter 181 Made a Substitute
"Literally!" After the masked man finished speaking, he opened the fire folder in front of Shang Qihao, burned the letter, and deliberately didn't finish it, leaving the cover and the unimportant corner pages.

Shang Qihao was puzzled and didn't understand what the masked man was doing.

When one of the men in black took out a set of black night clothes and a golden mask that was exactly the same as the face of the masked man, Shang Qihao understood the intention of the masked man.

"You want His Highness to take the blame for you!" Although Shang Qihao didn't know what the masked man had done outside, how could he fail to see that the masked man wanted him to take the blame?
He quickly thought of the mastermind of the counterfeit silver, his eyes widened suddenly, and he glared at the masked man angrily, "It's you! You are the mastermind of the counterfeit silver, why did you frame me? Why?"

Shang Qihao struggled like crazy, trying to kill the masked man.

However, after he was seriously injured by Qi Xuan, he lost all his martial arts. Now he is just an ordinary person without martial arts, and the man in black who is holding him is very strong in martial arts. How can he break free?
"So what if it's me?" The masked man's reaction to Shang Qihao was very helpful, or he had a wicked taste of irritating people.

He didn't give Shang Qihao a chance to speak, and said with a sneer: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for the power you helped me cultivate."

"Shall I help you cultivate power?" Shang Qihao was a little dazed, but he was not a fool, he understood what the masked man meant after he was dazed for a while.

In the past two years, he has cultivated a lot of forces secretly, such as setting up intelligence gathering points in various places, and winning over important officials in the court.

But since he was placed under house arrest, the efficiency of collecting intelligence from various places has gradually deteriorated, and sometimes even some useless intelligence came, but he couldn't find any clues.

Until this time he received a message that his father looked like a normal person on the surface, but he was seriously ill, and his father was aware of his secret power, and was ready to attack him.

Therefore, Shang Qihao planned to take advantage of his father's health before he recovered, to strike first.

Unexpectedly, he had made a lot of preparations. At the critical moment, the people below suddenly fell silent, and he fell into the trap set by his father and Qi Xuan.

Only then did Shang Qihao realize that he had been duped, and somehow became the mastermind of counterfeiting money.

Before the masked man appeared, Shang Qihao couldn't figure it out, but now he knows that he is like a puppet on a string, and all his actions are controlled by the masked man.

"Everything under you has been taken over by me, isn't it just helping me cultivate power?" The masked man smiled sinisterly.

Judging from the change in Shang Qihao's expression, he knew that Shang Qihao had figured it out.

Shang Qihao is the most powerful prince in secret, and the masked man was a little jealous of him at first, but the last food contest became a breakthrough.

He was under house arrest, and his hands and feet were bound when he did things. The masked man took the opportunity to get rid of his cronies who were useful under him, and played a game of stealing, gradually taking his power for his own use.

"What? You!" Even though Shang Qihao had guessed it, the masked man still made him angry and unbearable.

"Who are you? Who are you?" Shang Qihao was really unwilling.

All his efforts were to make wedding dresses for others, but in the end, he had to take the blame for others, and he didn't know who this person was.

The masked man didn't speak, just raised his arm lightly, held Shang Qihao's man in black, tapped his acupoints, put on his night clothes and mask for him.

Shang Qihao knew that the guards outside the secret room must have been killed, even calling them would be useless, so he just stared at the masked man.

The masked man watched Shang Qihao put on the same outfit as him, and his cold eyes showed disgust.

Before coming here, he came out from Ding'an Prince's Mansion, he was really unlucky, the patrol team happened to pass by the Palace and bumped into him.

Not long after, Gong Lie also attracted Jing Zhaoyin, and all the people in Ding'an Palace were killed, and now a large area is being searched outside.

After much deliberation, the masked man still intends to push the matter of destroying Ding'an Palace to Shang Qihao.

Even if Shang Qihao is imprisoned here, he still has a way to make people think that Shang Qihao escaped from the secret room, and after destroying Ding'an Palace, he felt that he had committed a serious crime, and ran back to kill himself.

As for Qi Xuan, what's the problem if he fought against him in the palace?He believed that even if Qi Xuan knew that Shang Qihao was innocent, he would not tell the emperor.

Because if the emperor knew that Qi Xuan also appeared in the palace on the night when the palace was destroyed, it might arouse the emperor's suspicion.

"Really want to know who I am?" The masked man walked up to Shang Qihao, stretched out his hand to pinch Shang Qihao's chin, and smiled strangely.

While speaking, the masked man took out a black pill and stuffed it into Shang Qihao's mouth.

"What did you give me?" Shang Qihao was forced to take the pill, and immediately a scorching air flowed from his abdomen, rushing to his limbs and bones, making him miserable, and gradually, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained It's the same.

"The medicine that can free you! You are going to die, and I will let you die to understand." The masked man watched Shang Qihao stop struggling, and his breath gradually weakened.

He sneered, raised his hand, and slowly took off the mask on his face.

Shang Qihao raised his head with difficulty, and when he saw the face after taking off the mask, his mind went blank in astonishment, and he muttered: "Impossible, impossible, you, how could you be the emperor—"

After all, he couldn't say the last word, so he spurted out a mouthful of black blood and died of poison.

The masked man's face was cold and cold, and he was no longer easy-going in front of people.

If Qi Xuan was present, seeing his true face would be unbelievable.

******
After the masked man left, he forged a series of false appearances, making everything point to Shang Qihao, making it hard to find any flaws.

All he did was to cover up some things, so that the emperor would think that Shang Qihao was the real mastermind, so he would not pursue further.

The emperor did stop the investigation, and decided that Shang Qihao had taken poison in fear of crime, and he was responsible for all the crimes. The Fang family in Jinhe County was also convicted.

Qi Xuan suspected that there was an accomplice of the masked man in the palace, who might be the emperor's confidant, so he didn't remind the emperor that Shang Qihao was just a scapegoat.

As for Qi Youming and Qi Lin, when they heard the news that the entire palace was destroyed and no one survived, Qi Youming was driven mad at that time.

He actually strangled Qi Lin to death, and when he tried to commit suicide again, the jailer found out and stopped him in time.

After all, the emperor was thinking about his old love and decreed to let him go free.

After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Qi Youming did not go to look for Qi Xuan.

Later, someone who knew him saw him reduced to a beggar in a poor county, making a living by begging, but this is another story.

******
On the surface, the private counterfeiting of silver seems to have come to an end.

In fact, Qi Xuan did not give up investigating the matter of the masked man, but the masked man became vigilant now and hid it better.

Qi Xuan failed to find out who the masked man was for a long time, and the time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the wedding date of Xue Shi and Yue Shaoqing had been set.

Although Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling were also married by the Empress Dowager, they couldn't marry Xue Shi and Yue Shaoqing on the same day, or get married first, because they are elders after all.

Therefore, Meng Fuling only recognizes her ancestors first and returns to her clan, and her marriage with Qi Xuan is put on hold.

Because Mrs. Xue's wedding is approaching, a lot of things need to be bought. Since Mrs. Xue has no natal family, they will temporarily move to the General's Mansion and marry from the General's Mansion at that time.

As a daughter, Meng Fuling naturally had to help Zhang Luo. Today, Meng Fuling wanted to accompany Mrs. Xue to the silver building to choose jewelry.

Unintentionally and Fenglin went out and hadn't returned, so Meng Fuling had to call a few guards.

When he was about to leave the mansion, Wuxin hurried back, with a look of anxiety, and even disregarded etiquette, so he moved to Meng Fuling's side and reported in a low voice: "Miss, this subordinate has met Han Dong's family. He was seriously injured and wants to see you." one side."

When Meng Fuling heard that Han Hualin was seriously injured, she became anxious, "Where is he? Where is Fenglin?"

In a hurry, Meng Fuling still found that Feng Lin hadn't come back with Wu Wuxin.

"The subordinates placed Han Dong's family in a private house in the north of the city. Feng Lin stayed to treat Han Dong's family, and his subordinates came to report. However, Han Dong's family was very strange, and specifically explained that the subordinates only took you there and could not hurt him. Leak the matter to others." Wu Wu replied.

Naturally, Meng Fuling believed the unintentional words, but she was puzzled.

The last time she went back to Qishan County, she went to Shiweitian to look for Han Hualin, but he did not return to Qishan County.

It can be said that she hadn't heard from Han Hualin for a long time, and she didn't know what he was busy with during this time, but now she accidentally said that she met him who was seriously injured.

Could it be that he has been in the capital city?Why didn't he want to meet her? How could he be injured if he is not weak in martial arts?
Meng Fuling thought for a while, and then said to Xue: "Mother, you go to the mansion first, and we will pick out jewelry tomorrow."

Xue saw that Meng Fuling had something to deal with. Although she didn't know what it was, she knew that she couldn't help, so she didn't ask too much, "Okay, then go back early."

Meng Fuling thought to herself, since Han Hualin deliberately confessed that he had no intention of revealing it to others, it must be something urgent.

So, she didn't bring any guards with her, but Wu Wu, who drove a carriage to the north of the city.

As everyone knows, not long after Meng Fuling left, the "other" returned to the General's Mansion accidentally and with Fenglin.

Seeing them coming back, but not Meng Fuling, Mrs. Xue asked strangely, "Win Wu, why did you come back first? Fuling didn't come back with you?"
