Chapter 282 Great Sacrifice 3
Jing Ran was standing behind the Empress Dowager at the moment. The Empress Dowager, Empress and His Majesty sat in the shed and watched the sacrificial dance intently. There were people on both sides of him watching, and there was no way to escape now.

She turned to Cao Rui with her eyes, and Cao Rui motioned her to wait.She looked at Fu Yang again, and Fu Yang just nodded.

This sacrificial dance lasted for a long time. After the dance, the chief priest recited a long prayer by the campfire before it was completely over.After the sacrificial activities are over, the grand dinner begins.

Fresh and tender lambs were roasted on the bonfire, and the table was filled with intoxicating wine. The solemnity and silence just now no longer existed, and the boys and girls began to dance and drink to their heart's content.

Today, for some unknown reason, the Queen Mother and the Empress took turns toasting Fu Jian. When the courtiers saw that the Queen and the Empress had toasted the Emperor, they raised their glasses to Fu Jian.

On such a day, when the emperor and his ministers had fun together, singing and dancing, Fu Jian was inevitably in a good mood, and he would not refuse anyone who came, and drank to his heart's content.After drinking one cup after another, Fu Jian's eyes gradually blurred.

One second before Fu Jian passed out drunk, he said a word to the Queen Mother, which could only be heard clearly by the Queen, Queen Mother and Jing Ran who were beside him.

That is: "Take care of Jingran, don't let her run around."

Both the queen mother and the queen turned their heads to look at Jing Ran, and the eyes were obviously not very friendly.There was both disgust and jealousy in the queen's eyes, while there was a hint of hatred in the queen mother's eyes.

Jing Ran's scalp was numb when they looked at her, and she thought: I have to leave quickly, seeing that these two women don't like me, especially the Queen Mother, it's even more unreasonable. I saved her life anyway, but how does she look? Some hate the way I look.

Fu Jian was helped into the big tent to rest, and then the queen mother and empress also went back to their own tents.What surprised Jing Ran was that when the Queen Mother and Queen left, they took all their followers away, and no one was left to take care of Jing Ran.

However, Fu Jian had two bodyguards following Jing Ran not too far away, and Jing Ran couldn't help but walked up to them and asked, "Your Majesty has already returned to the big tent to rest, why don't you go over there?" Protect him, what are you doing with me?"

One of the guards said frankly: "Your Majesty said that there are quite a lot of people coming today. In case the girl will be disturbed, let us guard you at every step. Even if you rest, let us guard you outside the tent overnight."

Jing Ran was shocked and said, "Go back and protect Your Majesty. I'm an ordinary citizen. Who would disturb me? It's too awkward for you to follow me. I've never enjoyed such treatment. Hurry up and leave!"

The guard replied stubbornly: "That can't be done, the emperor's order is hard to break, we must protect you. The girl is also tired today, go back to the room to rest."

Jing Ran had no choice but to return to the tent under their gaze, pacing back and forth anxiously.

After a while, a scream came from the queen mother's tent: "There are assassins!" Jing Ran and the queen mother's tent were closest to each other, and rushed outside the tent and shouted to the two guards, "what are you still doing here? It's me Such a little person with no name or distinction is more important, or the Queen Mother? Hurry up and protect the Queen Mother!"

Guard A said to Guard B: "I'll go over there to see the situation, you guard Miss Jing, you must protect her safety!"

Guard A hadn't gone far when Jing Ran saw Cao Rui, who was pretending to be searching around urgently. She gestured anxiously to Cao Rui, but Cao Rui was afraid of arousing the suspicion of Guard B, so he didn't respond.
