Chapter 138: The Divine Physician's Dilemma

Pei Jue didn't speak.

He remembered the first time he had treated Pei Jue, back when his father, the Imperial Physician, was still by his side.

At that time, Puyang Jiu was more curious about how to cure the illness and didn't think much beyond that. It wasn't until he had taken concubines and fully grasped the matters between men and women that he understood the profound meaning behind his father's words.

To restrain desire is to fight against human nature, and few in this world can achieve such control. It's easy to be harsh to others, but much harder to be strict with oneself. With such self-discipline, how could he not succeed greatly?

Unfortunately, the heavens played tricks on him. Having such a pure and austere nature, he was ironically afflicted with such a body.
