Chapter 281 False accusation
The ice above the giant egg has melted, exposing the crimson magma below.

"So hot magma." Xiao Yi frowned slightly, sensing the temperature here.

"It looks like the Horn of Frost has hatched here. I'll try it with the Purple Flame Sword first. If I can destroy the ice layer, I can force it out."

Xiao Yi muttered to himself, and then waved out Zi Yan.

Zi Yan turned into a fire dragon in mid-air and charged straight away.

Seeing such a powerful attack, Frost Horn dodged directly, and then went underground, disappearing without a trace.

Xiao Yi looked at the surrounding situation and decided not to pursue him yet.

After all, the matter of his defeating the barbarians has not been reported to Daqin. Anyway, the most important thing now is to go back and report it.

Therefore, Xiao Yi temporarily left this place.

After explaining to the barbarians and asking his lieutenant to guard it, Xiao Yi went back alone.

After returning to the Great Qin Imperial City, Xiao Yi came directly to meet the Empress Li Qingcheng.

At this time, Li Qingcheng was in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Xiao Yi came over, knelt down and shouted: "Minister Xiao Yi, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Be flat." Empress Li Qingcheng said lightly, her tone seemed to be a little angry.

After Xiao Yi stood up, the Empress Li Qingcheng said: "Lord Xiao, I have something to ask you."

Xiao Yi was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Please, Your Majesty."

Li Qingcheng said coldly: "I received a memorial saying that you colluded with the barbarians and wanted to harm my Great Qin. Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please be aware that this minister is the general of the Great Qin, how could he collude with the barbarians? Someone is falsely accusing me!"

"Hmph, you're still arguing!" Li Qingcheng snorted coldly, "Don't you know what evidence I have in my hands?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yi was shocked.

The evidence in Li Qingcheng's hands was his private deal with the barbarian king.

Although he hadn't done it himself, Li Qingcheng couldn't hide this matter, so now Li Qingcheng has grasped the handle, what should be done.

Seeing this, the empress Li Qingcheng continued: "Come here, pass on my order, immediately arrest Lord Xiao and bring him to justice, and at the same time send troops to encircle and suppress the barbarians!"

Following the order of the Empress Li Qingcheng, thousands of soldiers rushed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony outside and surrounded the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Yi's forehead was covered with sweat.

The things in Li Qingcheng's hands are indeed strong enough.

If he was captured by these soldiers, he would never be able to escape.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said: "I am not convinced, please give me a chance to review this case personally!"

"Hmph, does Lord Xiao really think that you can deny your crime?" Li Qingcheng said coldly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi shook his head, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if I'm at fault, I wouldn't dare to shirk it, but I really didn't do this matter."

"Everything I do has a reason, and I also hope that Your Majesty can understand every word I say."

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Li Qingcheng frowned. She was not a fool, so she could tell that Xiao Yi was not lying.

But if Xiao Yi didn't make a mistake, why was he arrested at this time, and he was asked to personally review it.

Could it be that he really made a mistake outside and was arrested?

After thinking for a while, Li Qingcheng asked: "Xiao Yi, if you didn't commit a crime, why did you accept the punishment?"

"Your Majesty, would you believe me if I said that I did not commit a crime, but was framed by someone?" Xiao Yi asked back.

"Oh?" Li Qingcheng blinked suspiciously.

She never thought that Xiao Yi would lie to her, and she also believed that it was impossible for Xiao Yi to commit crimes.

Xiao Yi nodded, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I know what His Majesty is worried about. In fact, His Majesty doesn't need to worry too much about this matter at all."

"This matter has been prepared for a long time, and now I can assure His Majesty that as long as I am here, no one will hurt His Majesty, and even have no chance to bully His Majesty."

After hearing Xiao Yi's words, Empress Li Qingcheng was puzzled for a while.

What did Xiao Yi mean when he suddenly said these words at this moment?

However, Li Qingcheng didn't say much.

Since Xiao Yi said these words, naturally he couldn't be lying, and she wasn't worried about what Xiao Yi would do to her.

After all, Xiao Yi had helped her before.

Thinking of this, Li Qingcheng nodded and asked, "You said you have a solution, but what kind of solution is it?"

Hearing Li Qingcheng's words, Xiao Yi smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a strategy. This strategy can completely solve your majesty's immediate danger. I don't know if your majesty dares to listen to me?"

Hearing this, Li Qingcheng nodded in doubt, and motioned Xiao Yi to continue.

"Your Majesty, the key to this matter is that we now lack an opportunity to let Your Majesty get out of the predicament, so Your Majesty needs an opportunity that can be used."

Xiao Yi's strategy was like this.

First of all, Xiao Yi has to find a way to let Li Qingcheng obtain power from the Empress's confidant, and then use a series of means to make Li Qingcheng's power more and more powerful, and finally achieve the goal of being able to control the situation.

If Li Qingcheng can really secure the throne of Empress, then she will gain a great power, and she will be able to do many great things in the future.

But if Li Qingcheng becomes a puppet after becoming an empress, then he will be manipulated.

Therefore, Li Qingcheng needs to get rid of the fate of being manipulated by others.

Xiao Yi has already thought of a way here, he just needs to follow his plan and do it.

Xiao Yi's only problem now is Li Qingcheng's attitude.

Li Qingcheng is not a fool, so he will naturally consider this aspect.

Therefore, Li Qingcheng wanted to hear about Xiao Yi's plan.

"Your Majesty, the minister's plan is that if His Majesty wants to become the most powerful emperor, he must support another empress."

"Only when we have enough strength can we suppress others, and only in this way can we gain real freedom." Xiao Yi said slowly.

"Another empress?" Li Qingcheng frowned.

"That's right." Xiao Yi nodded and continued, "If Your Majesty is willing to cooperate with the minister, then we can use the threat of the empress to expand our power faster."

"If His Majesty refuses, then we will have to choose a new empress again. I am not sure that I can do this, because that empress is also a ruthless character."

"Huh? You mean, if I cooperate with you, we can expand our power?" Li Qingcheng asked with a smile on his face.

"That's right." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "As long as we can unite with another empress, we can win over the other empresses."
