Chapter 279 [Eunuch Zhou clocks out]
The pig blood bag stuffed in Zhou Jushan's chest burst and spurted out, splashing directly onto Prince An's face.
Prince An's eyes were blurred by blood and his head was still confused. Why did the blood splatter like that in the place where he cut?
Prince An had no time to think at this time. After Zhou Jushan rushed out, he hit Prince An hard with his body, and the electric baton hidden in his sleeve touched Prince An's waist.
Prince An was hit hard by Zhou Jushan and then electrocuted. His already anxious mind was in a mess for a moment: outrageous! How could a eunuch have such great strength? He was hit so hard that his whole body was twitching.
At this time, Xin Yingshu had already taken action and knocked Prince An to the ground.
Zhou Jushan breathed a sigh of relief, covered his "wound", leaned against the pillar in the hall, and sat down.
Emperor Qingning looked at the frail Zhou Jushan, his eyes slightly opened: "Zhou Jushan, you..."
Emperor Qingning originally just thought that Zhou Jushan was smart, had a good service attitude, and high service quality, and recognized his business ability.
But I didn't expect that Eunuch Zhou would actually be willing to stand up for me and take a knife!
Emperor Qingning felt a little guilty because he had just wanted to use Zhou Jushan to block the attack, but the emperor was ruthless, and this trace of guilt disappeared in a flash.
At this time, Xia Su had already brought his men to control the situation in the hall, and the situation had reversed.
Xia Su knelt on one knee before Emperor Qingning and said, "I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, and I beg your forgiveness."
"You did a great job in noticing something was wrong and coming in time."
Emperor Qingning stared at the bound Prince An for a long time, rubbing his brows wearily. "I really didn't expect what happened today."
He was supported by Concubine Wen and sat back on his dragon throne, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Emperor Qingning ordered his guards, "Quickly carry Eunuch Zhou back and call the imperial physician to treat him!"
"yes."
The guards made a simple stretcher on the spot and carefully moved Zhou Jushan, carrying him out of Xingqing Hall.
When the ministers, relatives, soldiers and palace maids on the road saw a eunuch being carried away by two guards from the military department, they all sighed in their hearts that the status of Eunuch Zhou in the palace would probably rise in the future!
Zhou Jushan breathed a sigh of relief after finally escaping from the devil's cave. He was just hit by the sword, but with the stab-proof vest to block it, it was equivalent to being hit by a heavy object. He would definitely be injured, but it was not as horrible as being killed on the spot.
He reported his safety in the group chat, [Holy crap, I can finally clock out. Everyone, go ahead~~~]
@Jiang Lili: Rest in peace, Eunuch Zhou. Now you can have a good vacation.
@Guan Yue (Bandit Sister): Eunuch Zhou, your blessings are yet to come! Wait for the reward from the Dog Emperor!
Zhou Jushan was so angry when he saw his friends calling him "Eunuch Zhou" so many times that he almost sat up from the stretcher.
All the people on duty in the Imperial Hospital today are Qi Yun's men. Over the past six months, Qi Yun has gradually taken control of the Imperial Hospital, so Zhou Jushan doesn't have to worry about revealing any flaws. He just hopes that Qi Yun's people can help him write a note for a short vacation so that he can have a good vacation.
Moreover, Emperor Qingning has become accustomed to his company. When he is away for a while, Emperor Qingning will remember his kindness.
By blocking the knife today, perhaps I can open the heart of this dog emperor and make him feel at ease to treat me as his trusted eunuch.

Inside Xingqing Hall.
The hall, which was originally brightly lit, festive and luxurious, was now in a mess, with broken tables and chairs, smashed dishes and bloodstains on the ground.
The palace maids and eunuchs were distributing tea and snacks to comfort the frightened ministers and their relatives.
The concubines in the harem had already been sent back to their own residences.
Emperor Qingning sat down and took a while to relax before opening his eyes. This time, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Everyone realized that the emperor was going to settle the score.
"Prince An, do you have anything else to say?"
Prince An made his final struggle: "Father, you are wronged. It was Prince Jin who betrayed me. He let Xu Qingyun force me to rebel!"
"Prince An, you arranged this lion dance team, and you have close contact with them. Can you explain to me what's going on?"
Emperor Qingning listened to Prince An's words. Although he replied in this way, he still looked at Prince Jin to see what the second prince would say.
Upon hearing this, King Jin sneered, "Brother, I treat you as my elder brother, but you treat me as a burial companion!"
"Let's not talk about the fact that I've been recuperating from my broken leg in the mansion these days. How could I have planned so many things?"
Prince Jin slapped his wheelchair in anger and excitement, as if he was laughing out of anger: "Xu Qingyun is a commander of the imperial guards, how can I mobilize him!"
"How can I, a cripple, force you to rebel?"
Emperor Qingning withdrew his gaze and said, "Second brother, don't be angry. Take good care of your injuries. Your eldest brother is useless. You should take good care of yourself."
King Jin searched among Xia Su's men, but did not see Zhuang Hefeng, and he became anxious.
If Zhuang Hefeng were there, he could still take credit for himself, but right now, Xia Su was the leader.
Didn't he send Xia Suzhi to the outskirts of the city to suppress the refugee unrest?
Prince An was taken away for questioning. Emperor Qingning called on Xia Su to explain the whole story: "Xia Su, tell me what happened tonight?"
"At 3 p.m., I received news of murder and arson outside the city. I was originally planning to go there to suppress the refugees, but I ran into the second son of the Taifu family on the way."
Xia Su took himself to the outskirts of the city, met Xue Wei, and returned according to the advice Xue Wei gave him.
After hearing what Xia Su reported to the emperor, Prince Jin felt a chill in his heart. No wonder it was Xia Su who brought people here. Could it be that Xia Su thought that the deputy commander was in cahoots with Prince An?
Xia Su explained the details of how he met Xue Wei in the city. After listening, Emperor Qingning asked, "Is Xue Wei, the second son of the Grand Tutor family, in the palace now?"
Xue Wei came out and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I am Xue Wei."
Xue Wei's clothes were torn, his hair was disheveled, and he looked a little disheveled, but as he stood there, his back was as straight as a pine or cypress, and he had an extraordinary bearing.
Emperor Qingning had some impression in his mind. In the chaos just now, although this kid looked very frightened, he still knocked down several assassins. He adjusted his state quickly and his potential should not be underestimated.
Not to mention that he had heard before that this kid was good at writing poetry, but he didn't expect him to have such skills and courage.
Emperor Qingning looked at Xue Wei for a long time. Now that the people in the court were divided, he really needed to train some new people to serve him.
Xue Wei caught his eye; he was loyal, had potential, and was courageous.
"Taifu has the merit of following the dragon, and you are sharp-minded and perceptive, and you have the merit of saving the master."
Emperor Qingning folded the beads in his hand and said, "I heard that you are preparing for the imperial examination. I don't think it is necessary to go through so much trouble. I have already seen your ability. What official position do you want?"
When Emperor Qingning said these words, everyone present was extremely surprised, and even the left and right prime ministers raised their heads.
