The old doctor stroked his beard with one hand, and placed the other hand on Heyue's wrist through a handkerchief. After examining her for a moment, he frowned and released her hand.
The thirteenth prince immediately asked anxiously, "How is it?"
The doctor looked embarrassed: "This...this girl is pregnant..."
"Nonsense! I'm asking you if you have a solution?" The Thirteenth Prince interrupted him impatiently, his face full of anger.

However, she'll need to take a cold bath in between to relieve the pain. Although this method is effective, it may not be good for her health."
