Chapter 46
Chapter 46 Digging Your Own Grave

Just when Yu Xuanji put the wine glass to her mouth and was about to drink it, the wine glass in her hand was hit on the ground by Wu Di.

"Be careful!" After Wu Di received the news, he hurriedly separated from Prime Minister Gao Zhenjin who was discussing state affairs, and trotted all the way to the Qiongyan Terrace.

Gao Yuhuan didn't expect Wu Di to appear here at this moment. She looked at Wu Di with a pale face, her voice trembling with nervousness. "His Majesty……"

"Well, you poisonous woman, how dare you poison Gu's beloved concubine. Come and take this poisonous woman down." Wu Di gave an order to the guards who had already guarded the Qiongyantai.

Gao Yuhuan was completely taken aback. She clearly calculated the time and asked her father to hold Wu Di in the upper study on purpose.

"Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged. I gave my sister rice wine to drink. There is no poison in the wine. I will show you how to drink it."

Saying so, Gao Yuhuan poured the wine from the jug in her hand into her own cup in front of Wu Di, and drank it without hesitation.

After Gao Yuhuan drank it all in one gulp, she even bottomed out the cup and turned it over, indicating that she had really finished drinking.

How could Wu Di believe Gao Yuhuan's little skill, "My dear concubine, how about you drink this cup too?"

Wu Di calmly picked up the cup that Yu Xuanji almost drank from the ground just now. He snatched the jug from Gao Yuhuan's hand and filled it up for Gao Yuhuan himself.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Yuhuan was sweating profusely as she stared at the cup in Wu Di's hand, her face turned pale and her body trembled.

Gao Yuhuan's fear of the wine glass caused Wu Di to drop the wine glass in his hand angrily, and he slapped Gao Yuhuan with a backhand. .

It was the first time for the concubines to see Wu Di getting angry in public, slapping people in public, and losing his composure in public.

"Bastard, I caught you alone, what else do you have to say? Your wine is non-toxic, but the wine glass you gave to Concubine Shu is poisonous. Come here, put this poisonous woman in the cold palace, and imprison her for life. "

Gao Yuhuan never thought that the Qiongtai banquet she planned so carefully was intended to kill Yu Xuanji, but instead she dug her own grave.

Because Gao Yuhuan was thrown into the cold palace, and his father Gao Zhenjin was cut off from the position of prime minister, more than a hundred members of the Gao family were expelled from the imperial city by the Wu enemy, and they would never be seen by imperial edicts.

With Prime Minister Gao's downfall, Concubine Gao was cast into the cold palace. For a while, the ministers in the court were in danger, and the concubines in the harem avoided their homes.

Some people worry, some people rejoice.

Compared with the panic of the court ministers, the common people in the market are excited because of the selection of the queen's imperial list.

Because the emperor's list said that regardless of family background, regardless of origin, as long as a young woman who has reached the age of sixteen can apply for the Queen's Competition, the common people in the market saw hope.As long as there are daughters in the family, they will sign up for them.

In the past, it was hoped that the son would become a dragon, but now everyone is eager to hope that the daughter will become a phoenix.This is a kind of grace that the Yuxiao Kingdom has never had since the founding of the country. Everyone hopes that their daughter will become the first commoner queen of the Yuxiao Kingdom.

According to the rules of the competition, the candidates selected from all over the country went from the township examination, to the county examination, to the state examination, and then to the palace examination. In just a few months, twenty young women have become the finalists for the palace examination.

Bu Gonggong unfolded the portraits of the beautiful women shortlisted for the queen's selection one by one, and hung them on the easel in front of Wu Di's desk.

"Your Majesty, these 72 beautiful women are from [-] counties and prefectures. They have all been selected according to His Majesty's requirements. They are all outstanding."

Wu Di was wearing a black dragon robe, and he carefully looked at each portrait without haste, for fear of missing one.
