Chapter 551: Private Affair Leaked
Nanny An stepped forward, took the photo and prepared to present it to Empress Dowager Yuan.
When she caught a glimpse of the scene in the photo out of the corner of her eye, she was so scared that she quickly lowered her head, not daring to even breathe.
What did she see!!!
The Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master hugged each other tightly and kissed, while the Imperial Master's hand reached into the Empress Dowager Yuan's clothes, doing unspeakable things.
Nanny An was also very familiar with this light yellow palace dress woven with gold thread, because she was the one who chose this dress for Empress Dowager Yuan.
Two days ago, when Empress Dowager Yuan went to Baohua Palace to find the imperial teacher, she was wearing this dress.
Nanny An's back was soaked with cold sweat. She remembered clearly that after Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Preceptor went in, they arranged for her to guard the door.
She had only accidentally taken a nap, but somehow the scene of their affection was seen by others.
Nanny An walked up to Empress Dowager Yuan, her hands shaking with nervousness. She was afraid that after Empress Dowager Yuan saw the photo, she would blame her for not guarding the door properly and revealing the secret between her and the Imperial Master.
Although they had been master and servant for almost thirty years, Nanny An knew very well what kind of person Empress Dowager Yuan was.
When she gets ruthless, she won't even let go of her blood relatives.
Once her secret was leaked, the only thing waiting for them, the servants, would be death.
Empress Dowager Yuan naturally saw Nanny An's expression. Normally, she would not show her joy on her face.
But now her whole body was shaking.
Empress Dowager Yuan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked at the photo in Nanny An's hand and snatched it away.
When she saw the content clearly, her head buzzed and she took two steps back in fear, and the photo in her hand fell to the ground.
"Where did this come from? Where did this come from?"
By the time she reacted, a scream had already escaped her throat and her eyes were filled with fear.
Empress Dowager Yuan couldn't understand how it was possible that such a secret affair between her and the Imperial Preceptor was seen by someone and even painted?
Even without her knowing it, the news had spread among the ministers.
I'm afraid everyone in and outside the palace knows about it now.
However, she and the Imperial Master only found out about it last, and they didn't even have a chance to stop the spread.
Only then did Queen Dowager Yuan realize why the ministers had looked at her in such strange ways just now.
She didn't think much about it at first, but now after looking at the photo, what else is there for her to not understand?
After knowing this, and thinking back to what had just happened, she felt like a fool.
The Imperial Master also saw the photo on the ground. He froze in place, his face as pale as paper.
He never expected that he and Queen Dowager Yuan had been having an affair for eighteen years, and each time they had escaped danger, yet now they would be discovered?
He had found it very exciting before, on the one hand because of the unethical pleasure, and on the other hand because the other party was the queen mother and held a high position.
He really enjoyed the feeling of having Queen Mother Yuan submit to him.
It was as if at that time, I could also experience the feeling of being the emperor.
His dream of becoming the emperor was about to come true, but reality slapped him hard in the face and woke him up completely.
The Imperial Master reacted quickly. He was only shocked for a moment before he quickly stepped forward and picked up the photo on the ground.
He found that the photo in his hand was completely different from the portraits he had seen by the painter. The paper was hard, the size of a palm, and the colors of the portrait were very clear.
However, the portrait drawn by the artist was made of soft paper and of rough quality, so it was totally impossible to achieve the level of smallness and exquisiteness.
This one is exactly the same as the real one.
Although the national teacher didn't know how the other party did it, he quickly had an idea in his mind.
He picked up the photo, pointed at it with an angry look on his face and said anxiously: "It's fake, it's fake, someone must be deliberately destroying the reputation of the Empress Dowager and the national teacher!"
"I have seen many court painters from Western Shu, but I have never seen a portrait like this. If this is not a deliberate forgery, what is it?"
"Don't be fooled by those with ulterior motives. Everyone knows that my master is the direct disciple of the Taibai Mountain Master. I have been practicing the ruthless way since I was young. I have sealed my heart and never fall in love. How could I possibly do something so immoral with the Queen Mother?"
The imperial teacher's voice brought Queen Dowager Yuan back from her fear.
She knew that the only thing she could do now was to follow the Imperial Master in denying the contents of the photo, and perhaps she could save a little face this way.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yuan immediately followed suit and said, "What the Imperial Master said is correct. Someone is deliberately trying to ruin the reputation of me and the Imperial Master. We are both innocent and have never crossed the line. How could we do such a thing?"
"I personally invited the Imperial Master down from Mount Taibai. I'm sure everyone present here knows what kind of person Lingxi Zhenren is. He came to Western Shu to help me a lot, but that was because the Crown Prince was missing and there was no one to take care of the government. There's nothing else to do."
When Empress Dowager Yuan said this, her face flushed red. She said angrily: "You are all loyal ministers of Western Shu. You are suspicious of the relationship between me and the Imperial Master just because of a portrait."
"You have worked in the court for so many years and have seen so many things. Don't you even have this much judgment?"
"In your hearts, am I so unbearable that I cannot be shown on the stage?"
The ministers looked at each other, lowered their heads in shame, and dared not say a word.
Especially the heads of the four major families, they looked particularly embarrassed.
It’s not that they don’t know how to judge, but they have never seen such photos before.
When I saw it, my first reaction was to believe it.
But if you think about it carefully, what Queen Dowager Yuan said makes sense.
They had never heard of or seen such a clear portrait before.
Moreover, there is no trace of brushstrokes or ink on the portraits, and each portrait looks exactly the same, even the details are exactly the same.
Is there really such a coincidence?
They themselves didn't believe that someone was deliberately framing Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Preceptor.
Yuan Chao looked at the photo in the national teacher's hand, his eyes dimmed, but he said nothing.
He knew better than anyone that the photo was real.
Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master had been together for a long time, and he also called them Daddy and Mom.
But the funny thing is that he never knew the other person's identity.
It was not until today that he realized that he was just the most shameful illegitimate child born from their affair.
Yuan Chao's eyes dimmed with self-mockery. He just felt a little stuffy in his chest, which made him feel uncomfortable, but he did not tell Queen Mother Yuan.
