Ren Jialin regained consciousness shortly after receiving detoxification and treatment for his external injuries.
To be precise, I was woken up by the pain.
Although the four arrows did not kill him, the wounds were deep, with two arrows piercing through him from both ends. When they were pulled out, his internal organs were inevitably damaged.
Uncle Chai said it would take at least a month to fully recover.
When Ren Jialin woke up, he saw Zhou Shaoyu standing in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, it's good that we're all alive."
Emperor Hui also came to visit him and said, "My son has told me that you exchanged horses and clothes with him, saving his life. You have also performed a great service in the Northwest. Once you recover, I will reward you handsomely."
Zhou Shaoyu knelt down before Emperor Hui and said, "Father, Master Ren is not an outsider."
"Um?"
"He is my maternal uncle."
"What did you say? He's from the Lin family?" Emperor Hui asked excitedly.
Are there still members of the Lin family? He had sent people to search secretly several times, but they couldn't find a single one.
Zhou Shaoyu nodded. Emperor Hui summoned Hua Zisheng to bring a chair and sit in front of Ren Jialin's sickbed, asking, "Are you a member of the Lin family?"
"yes."
"Consort Yun's younger brother?"
Yes, we are siblings from the same mother.
"Then, are there any other members of the Lin family?"
“It’s all gone, only the common people are left.” Ren Jialin’s eyes reddened.
Because of his injury, his voice was not very loud. Fortunately, although Emperor Hui's eyesight was not very good, his hearing had not deteriorated.
"I am Consort Yun's youngest brother, four years older than Your Highness..." Ren Jialin smiled slightly. "My original name was Lin Hansu. When my elder sister was alive, she doted on me."
He was just beginning to understand things when Consort Yun passed away.
"I remember! Consort Yun mentioned it..." Although it had been a long time, Emperor Hui still felt sad when he thought of the past.
Yun Fei's pure and gentle smiling face immediately appeared before my eyes.
How beautiful she was! She was only a teenager then. Every smile and frown of hers is etched in my memory.
Although his life in the palace was difficult without his mother's protection, everything became less bitter with Qingdai by his side.
"I have never liked studying since I was a child; I only like martial arts," Lin Hansu said.
Like the Xu family, the Lin family was a scholarly family, but Lin Hansu preferred martial arts. He was naughty from a young age and disliked studying, which made his family so angry that they wanted to beat him to death.
Consort Yun felt sorry for her younger brother, so she said to Imperial Tutor Lin, "Father, our family is full of civil officials. If he really likes martial arts, having a military general to protect the country is not necessarily a bad thing."
Originally, his family thought he was too young and were reluctant to send him out to learn martial arts. However, when Consort Yun was falsely accused and sent to the Cold Palace, Imperial Tutor Lin realized what was going on and sent him to Yushan to learn martial arts without hesitation.
Imperial Tutor Lin personally delivered it, and made an agreement with Yushan's master that Lin Hansu would not be allowed to leave the mountain for fifteen years.
When Lin Hansu returned after completing his studies, he discovered that his entire family had passed away.
He didn't rashly go to the palace to ask what happened. The one who could kill his family so thoroughly could not be anyone else; it must be His Majesty's doing.
Even if His Majesty had no choice.
Guan Shanyue, the open enemy who framed the Lin family, has been beheaded, had his property confiscated, and been exiled.
Lin Hansu was in great pain and frantically investigated. After several years of investigation and analysis, he guessed most of the truth.
Without killing Wei, it would be nearly impossible for the Lin family to clear their name and escape their injustice.
Her beloved eldest sister died in the cold palace, taking her unborn child with her.
The remains of my grandfather, father, and mother, who most hoped I would live up to their expectations, are nowhere to be found.
Not a single letter was left.
He established a powerful force in the martial arts world, but as someone without any foundation, how easy was it for him to take revenge against the behemoth that is the Wei family?
In his impetuousness, he even considered killing the Wei family members by himself, one by one. But he was the only remaining member of the Lin family. How could killing one or two of them avenge the blood feud?
He cannot die; if he dies, the great hatred will forever remain buried underground.
During this time, he refused all attempts to win him over.
Until the year of the earthquake, someone hoarded grain, which led to the deaths of the Wei family.
Later, it was discovered that some people were engaged in maritime trade, and others were seizing territory in the wilderness.
He couldn't find the person, and many leads just went cold.
Later, Xie Zhaozhao, through Yin Jin'an, requested to see Ren Jialin and asked him if he wanted to join her in destroying the Wei clan. She told him, "I was the one who hoarded grain and swindled the Wei clan."
Afterwards, he was asked to negotiate the salt and iron trade with Xie Anhuai, thus breaking the Wei family's control over the salt and iron supply.
He then realized that Xie Zhaozhao was the mastermind behind both the grain war and the salt and iron war.
Xie Zhaozhao is dealing with the Wei family.
He accepted the cooperation with Xie Zhaozhao without hesitation, believing that anyone who could help deal with the Wei family was a friend...
Until Xie Zhaozhao told him, "I want to take over the thirty-six northern prefectures and wipe out Wei Anyuan, who is entrenched in the northwest. Do you want to do it?"
Let's do it!
Lin Hansu was so excited because Xie Zhaozhao was rich, resourceful, and shared the same goals as him, making her worth risking his life to follow.
During the assassination attempt on the street, he helped fight off Wei's assassins. When he first saw Zhou Shaoyu (Grand Secretary Gu) face to face, he felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before!
Zhou Shaoyu: "When I first met my uncle, I had the same feeling. Where have I seen this person before?"
When His Majesty read aloud the secret edict that had been sealed thirty years ago, he realized that Grand Secretary Gu was actually his eldest sister's son.
He was a nephew who was fostered in the Pingyang Marquis's residence.
He excitedly ran to the outskirts of the city, where he burned incense and offered prayers at a crossroads, burning two full baskets of paper money to comfort his parents and his elder sister.
The Lin family will surely be exonerated.
Excited, he summoned his confidants overnight and began drafting a complaint, preparing to sue the Wei family after Zhou Shaoyu was recognized as a member of the Lin family, in order to overturn the verdict against the Lin family.
