Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2155

It’s not like we’ve slept together before! Ma Chuyang felt both aggrieved and comforted when he heard this.

Yes, yes, they had indeed slept together, and more than once. But when she said "sleep," she meant real sleep, pure sleep, peaceful sleep.

He was her calming incense.

That was many years ago. After Chi Shuang came back from a trip to Guicheng, he could always hear the sound of clashing swords.

War horses neighed, arrows flew through the air...these sounds always suddenly exploded in her ears, keeping her awake all night until dawn.

At the beginning, Chi Shuang would close her eyes and feel her brother's tragedy and despair.

She has always been unwilling to be a burden to others, and she feels that tinnitus is just a minor illness, so why make a fuss about it?

But as time went on, the noises grew more intense, gnawing at her bones and heart. She endured it day after day, until the buzzing in her ears gradually became an impenetrable net, isolating herself from all the outside sounds.

When people spoke, she could only see their lips opening and closing, but the sound seemed to come from far away, making it sound unreal.

It was the middle of winter in Tiema City that year. The Northern Wing court had just moved its capital, and the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion had already been settled.

But Chi Shuang was worried that her godmother would find out, so she found many excuses not to move back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, but instead lived in a small courtyard in Shi Anxia's previous inn.

Ma Chuyang went to find her and discovered something.

The situation was so serious by then that she could only guess when talking to him.

He noticed that during their conversations, she would unconsciously tilt her head, her right ear tilted toward the source of the sound. Sometimes she would answer questions irrelevantly, and sometimes she would simply smile silently. Later, he realized that she was actually relying on lip reading to get along with him.

Ma Chuyang was shocked and immediately went to find Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan rushed over overnight to administer acupuncture and medication, and three days later, Chi Shuang smiled and said she understood more clearly. But Ma Chuyang clearly saw that she was still secretly clutching her sleeves, calculating the rhythm of other people's conversations.

Ma Chuyang knew that this disease would not be cured overnight, and was worried that she would not take the medicine seriously, so he discussed with Wu Qicheng whether they could temporarily exchange positions.

Wu Qicheng was so righteous that he submitted a memorial to the court overnight regarding the rotation of garrison guards.

From then on, Ma Chuyang trained his troops in the military camp, and every now and then he would ride his horse to see Chi Shuang at night, watching her drink the medicine before leaving.

In fact, he didn't really leave, but climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard under the cover of night, sometimes hiding on the beams, sometimes squatting behind the screen.

Chi Shuang didn't notice it at first.

Later, perhaps because Ma Chuyang was too tired from running around, he curled up in a corner of her room and fell asleep. His snoring startled Chi Shuang.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was also grateful for his sincerity, so she didn't blame him, but allowed him to rest on the couch for a while.

I don’t know if it was because Doctor Shen’s medicine took effect, or because having another person in the room made people feel at ease, but Chi Shuang slept soundly that night.

From then on, there was a soft couch covered with fox fur in the room.

Ma Chuyang is a medicine that can calm the mind.

As time went by, Chi Shuang felt that she had delayed Ma Chuyang, so she secretly went to Liang State to open a bookstore.

She didn't want Ma Chuyang to work so hard.

Ma Chuyang, however, felt that Chi Shuang was ungrateful because he had to travel even harder, and even to see her, he had to cross the country.

When he was in Liang State, he refused to leave and continued to sleep in her room. Because she was targeted by many talented men in Liang State, Ma Chuyang was furious.

Once, after a big quarrel between them, he entered her account.

That night, they slept together.

He hugged her and asked her to marry him.

They didn't cross the line, they just hugged each other and talked for a long time.
