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 this 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. He was already anxious and his mind was in a mess: 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" and sat down leaning against a pillar in the hall.
Emperor Qingning looked at Zhou Jushan, who looked weak, and opened his eyes slightly: "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 be willing to stand up for me and take a knife!
Emperor Qingning felt a little guilty because he had just thought of asking Zhou Jushan to take the blame, but the emperor was ruthless and this guilt was fleeting.
At this time, Xia Su had already brought his men under control of the situation in the hall, and the situation had reversed.
Xia Su knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Qingning and said, "I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"You did a great job in sensing something was wrong and coming in time."
Emperor Qingning stared at the bound Prince An for a long time, and rubbed his brows tiredly: "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 the guards: "Hurry up and take 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 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, [Damn it, I can finally clock out of get off work. Everyone, go ahead~~~]
【@江麗麗: Rest in peace, Eunuch Zhou. Now you can have a good vacation. 】
【@关悦（山匪一姐）：Eunuch Zhou, your good fortune is still to come! Wait for the reward from the dog emperor! 】
Zhou Jushan was so angry when he saw his friends calling him "Eunuch Zhou" over and over again that he almost sat up from the stretcher.
Those on duty in the Imperial Medical Service today are all Qi Yun's men. Over the past six months, Qi Yun has gradually taken control of the Imperial Medical Service, so Zhou Jushan doesn't have to worry about revealing any flaws. He just hopes that Qi Yun's men 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 period of time, 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 had been brightly lit, festive and luxurious, was now in a mess, with broken tables and chairs, smashed dishes and blood on the floor.
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 accounts.
"Prince An, do you have anything else to say?"
Prince An made his final struggle: "Father is 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 is 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 have been recuperating from my broken leg in the mansion these days. How can I plan so many things?"
Prince Jin angrily and excitedly slapped his wheelchair, 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 retracted 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 refugees' unrest?
Prince An was taken away for questioning. Emperor Qingning asked Xia Su to tell him the whole story: "Xia Su, tell me what happened tonight?"
"At 3 p.m., I received news that there were murders and arson in the suburbs. I was originally going to the suburbs 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 listening to what Xia Su reported to the emperor, Prince Jin felt a chill in his heart. No wonder it was Xia Su who brought the people here. Did Xia Su think that the deputy commander was in cahoots with Prince An?
Xia Su explained the whole story of how he met Xue Wei in the city. After listening, Emperor Qingning asked, "Is Xue Wei, the second son of the Taifu 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 very 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 impressed him greatly; he was loyal, had potential, and was courageous.
"Taifu has the merit of following the dragon, and you are sharp-minded and perceptive, and 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.
