Chapter 319 Body Refining Techniques and Verbal Comprehension, Hu Hai Gets a Beating

A few days ago, the First Emperor, Fusu, and Meng Tian began to learn the first set of body-refining techniques from Luo Fei.

Although the First Emperor's body had regained its youthful appearance, his muscles and bones had not been tempered, making his movements somewhat stiff and clumsy.

He practiced the very first movement for a long time—his palms were always just short of touching the ground when he bent over.

However, he was not impatient and persisted in practicing from morning to night, even practicing several times before going to bed at night.

Fusu was much younger and more flexible than the First Emperor, so he naturally learned faster.

Meng Tian was strong and robust, but his flexibility was slightly lacking. When he bent over, his knees would always bend unconsciously, which Luo Fei corrected him for several times.

Every night, the three of them would take a medicinal bath, adding the medicinal liquid prepared by Luo Fei to the hot water.

The First Emperor frowned when he first took a medicinal bath, but felt refreshed afterward and felt much lighter when he practiced his exercises the next day.

After that, he stopped frowning and would take off his clothes and go straight into the bath each time.

Luo Fei also became Fusu's teacher, teaching him the "Lunyu".

Fusu sat behind the desk, holding the "Collection of Quotations" carefully selected by Director Qin, and began reading from the first page.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

After Fusu finished reading, he looked at the annotations below and was so surprised that his mouth dropped open.

He looked up at Luo Fei, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt, with a hint of uncertainty as to whether this was truly the word of a sage.

"Teacher, is this... is this the sage's original intention?"

Luo Fei sat opposite him, his expression calm, and simply asked, "What do you think?"

Fusu lowered his head, looked at the annotations again, remained silent for a moment, and then continued reading without asking any more questions.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."

The note reads: "Since you're here, let's bury you here."

Fusu frowned; these annotations were completely different from what he had learned before.

He turned to the phrase "A gentleman who is not stern will not command respect," with the annotation: "A gentleman must strike hard when he hits someone, otherwise he will not be able to establish authority."

Then, when we see "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits," the annotation is: "The Master did not want to talk to you; he only wanted to use strange phenomena and physical prowess to knock you out of your mind."

Fusu closed the book and couldn't help but laugh out loud, the sound echoing in the side hall.

The First Emperor happened to walk into the side hall and saw Fusu smiling, so he asked him what he was laughing about.

Fusu handed the book over, and the First Emperor flipped through a few pages. His lips twitched slightly, but his eyes lit up.

He returned the book to Fusu, told him to "study hard," and then turned and left.

Over the course of half a month, princes and princesses who were unaware of the details of the matter came one after another to plead with the First Emperor.

They heard that Hu Hai's leg had been broken and he was imprisoned in the imperial prison, but they did not know the reason. They thought that Hu Hai had just made some minor mistakes that angered the First Emperor and wanted to ask the First Emperor to forgive him.

Fusu summoned them to a side hall and recounted in detail the events of the First Emperor writing the imperial edict at the Sand Dune Palace, Zhao Gao and Li Si conspiring to tamper with the will, and Huhai's massacre of his brothers and sisters after ascending the throne.

Upon hearing this, the princes and princesses' faces changed from initial confusion to paleness, then to ashen, and finally to intense anger.

Gongzi Gao was the first to stand up, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his teeth clenched.

He turned around and strode towards the imperial prison, with the other princes and princesses following closely behind, their steps hurried.

Hu Hai was lying on a straw mat in the imperial prison, his legs were in splints and wrapped with strips of cloth, the bloodstains that had seeped through the cloth had dried and turned black.

He heard footsteps, looked up, and saw Gongzi Gao, as well as his other older brothers and sisters.

He opened his mouth, intending to say, "Brothers, save me," but before he could finish speaking, Gongzi Gao's fist had already slammed down.

The fists landed on his shoulders, arms, and legs, deliberately avoiding wounds and vital points.

Hu Hai screamed in pain, his voice like a pig being slaughtered. The other princes also joined in, some kicking his buttocks, some slapping his face, and some pulling his hair.

The princesses did not make a move; they simply stood by and watched, their eyes filled with anger and a hint of lingering fear.

After finishing his punch, the young master shook the blood off his hands and said, "This punch was for myself."

Another young man stepped forward and threw a few more punches, then said, "This punch is for my mother."

Hu Hai huddled on the straw mat, covering his head, daring not to fight back, not to curse, and not even to cry loudly.

From that day on, whenever the princes and princesses were in a bad mood, they would go to the imperial prison to beat up Hu Hai, and they would do so every few days.

They won't go too far; they won't kill him, but they certainly won't let him off easy.

Hu Hai's screams echoed through the corridors of the imperial prison, but no one sympathized with him, for he truly did not deserve sympathy.

For the past two weeks, Luo Fei has been triggering the system every time he wakes up. The system rewards are mostly ordinary daily necessities, such as hundreds of towels one day and hundreds of bars of soap or bags of laundry detergent the next.

Luo Fei put the items that required electricity into his ring and didn't take them out for the time being, since there was no electricity in the Qin Dynasty and they wouldn't be usable if he took them out.

He would use items that didn't require electricity, such as towels, soap, laundry detergent, vegetables, and fruits, to improve the lives of people in the palace.

When Fusu first saw tomatoes, he looked at the round, red fruit, not knowing what it was, and dared not eat it.

Luo Fei took a bite, juice dripping down his chin. He wiped it with the back of his hand and said, "Delicious."

Seeing this, Fusu also took a bite, his eyes immediately lighting up. He took another big bite and mumbled, "Sweet."

One more day, and the system rewarded me with a precious Tian Shan snow lotus.

When Luo Fei took it out of the ring, he saw that the snow lotus petals were as white as jade and the stamens were golden yellow, gleaming faintly under the light. The entire side hall was filled with a faint fragrance.

The First Emperor passed by the gate, smelled the fragrance, and went in to take a look. When he saw the snow lotus, his eyes lit up slightly.

Luo Fei then put the snow lotus into his ring, not giving it to anyone, because he felt that the snow lotus might be useful in the future. The First Emperor did not ask any further questions; he knew that the Grand Preceptor had his own plans for things.
