“Little Daisy, how are you? Were you bullied?” After Emily Foster and another maid rushed in, she immediately asked Little Daisy with concern, while casting a wary and disdainful glance at Henry Clark. Ever since what happened on the wedding night, Emily Foster had been extremely disgusted with Henry Clark, and if it weren’t necessary, she wouldn’t want to appear in front of others with Henry Clark at all.

“No... I’m fine!” Little Daisy still answered somewhat flustered. She was the maid who came as part of Emily Foster’s dowry, and had been responsible for taking care of Henry Clark, who had been bedridden after being struck by lightning. She was also the person Henry Clark interacted with the most during this time. However, this little maid, only eleven or twelve years old, also seemed very wary of Henry Clark. Usually, apart from helping Henry Clark wash up and eat, she never said a single extra word to him.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? It was clearly Little Daisy who splashed me all over with water, so why aren’t you asking if I’m okay?” Henry Clark complained discontentedly at this moment.

After crossing over, he had inherited some fragmentary memories from the original Henry Clark. These memories were few and mostly incomplete, but among them happened to be what occurred on the wedding night. This made him rather disdainful of the original Henry Clark, and he even felt some sympathy for Emily Foster. Besides, he had been muddleheaded these past few days, so he really didn’t care about Emily Foster’s bad attitude. But now he felt he should let go of his hang-ups and integrate into his current life, so seeing Emily Foster not even ask about him after he was splashed all over with water made him a bit angry. After all, he was still her husband.

As for Henry Clark’s dissatisfaction, Emily Foster merely glanced at him indifferently, then parted her red lips and said, “Although Little Daisy came with me as part of my dowry, she’s still very young. Besides, the Prince has already been personally ordered by His Majesty and Her Highness that, before the Prince’s health is fully restored, he is forbidden from approaching women. So please, Your Highness, conduct yourself with dignity!”

After saying this, Emily Foster didn’t listen to any explanation from Henry Clark, and left, pulling Little Daisy along. Henry Clark was so angry he almost jumped up and cursed. Emily Foster didn’t even bother to find out the truth and just assumed he had done something to Little Daisy, which was why he got splashed with water. This was simply an insult to his character! Little Daisy was only eleven or twelve, the same age as the students he used to teach in his previous life. No matter how lecherous he was, he would never lay a hand on such an underdeveloped little girl. Besides, he was now forbidden by his nominal parents in this life from approaching women, because the imperial physician said there was something wrong with his body.

Thinking of his physical condition, Henry Clark suddenly became worried again. In his previous life, he had read quite a few transmigration novels, and the most common way to transmigrate was being struck by lightning. Unfortunately, he was a victim of this very method—not only was he struck by lightning in his previous life, but he was also struck by lightning upon arriving in the Song Dynasty, and it was the most mysterious kind of lightning in nature: ball lightning.

To make matters worse, before the ball lightning struck Henry Clark, it circled around the prince’s residence, witnessed by many guests and people in the residence. As a result, the news that the Prince of Guangyang was struck by lightning on his wedding night became the biggest gossip in Kaifeng the next day. Everyone who mentioned it would turn into a gossip god, adding fuel to the fire with their imagination. Rumors about Henry Clark being struck by lightning had already spread everywhere; it was said that even Liao and Western Xia had heard about it. Because of this, Henry Clark had become a celebrity in the Song, Liao, and Xia kingdoms—though mostly for negative reasons.

Henry Clark had always been a playboy, his body long since hollowed out by wine and women. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used aphrodisiacs on his wedding night. On top of that, he was struck by the mysterious ball lightning, which not only turned Henry Clark into the later Henry Clark, but also caused some unknown damage to his body. The reason he had been bedridden these past few days was not only because he couldn’t accept the reality of transmigration, but also because his body was very weak.

What worried him even more was that, after several days of consultation, a group of imperial physicians concluded that Henry Clark’s body was very weak and needed to abstain from women and rest for a period of time. He also had to watch his diet, avoiding greasy and meaty foods—in other words, he had to live a life of abstinence and recuperate for quite a long time. As for when his body would recover, even the imperial physicians couldn’t say for sure; they could only check Henry Clark’s condition periodically and make adjustments as needed.

Previously, Henry Clark hadn’t cared much about his physical condition, but now he thought, what if he really ended up impotent, or with some other problem? That would be too tragic. Thinking of this, Henry Clark hurriedly pulled down his underwear to check his little brother. Fortunately, it looked like he was still well-endowed. Then, seeing that no one was around, he reached in to feel it, recalling scenes from Japanese adult films he’d seen in his previous life—especially those featuring the mythical creature “Yamete.”
