Xiao had no choice but to take his comb, which had taken a lot of time to build, but the result was unsatisfactory, and stood behind Su Zhen.

Su Zhen's hair is black and soft, hanging straight to the waist, like a waterfall, just looking at it, there is infinite style.

This is the first time Xiao has been so close to Su Zhen.

Before, he was always not far away, just around her five-step range.

Now, close enough for him to smell the fragrance of her hairline, close enough to reach it.

In Dayong, many women, especially women with a certain amount of power, prefer all kinds of men, and there are a bunch of men in the family.

But Su Zhen has never approached any male sex, nor does he accept any male favorite, even if the emperor wants her to marry as soon as possible, she refuses, and openly says that she doesn't like male sex.

Therefore, she was also considered by the people in the court to have a habit of breaking off her sleeves, thinking that she only loved the Liancheng Xiaofei whose life and death were unknown.

Su Zhen did not refute the rumors, and acquiesced at that time.

Only Xiao, who has been guarding her for more than ten years, knows that she doesn't love men, it's just that she doesn't want to have feelings for anyone.

He is one of the people who knows her ambitions, one is her teacher, and the other is him.

Once, during a drink, she said to him, "Actually, I also want to find a partner to live with and not be so lonely." However, I can't. My future actions will inevitably mean bloodshed, and I can't let anyone I care about die under the butcher's knife because of me. I won't fall in love with anyone until I have enough ability to protect the people I love, and I don't want anyone to fall in love with me, even if I'm lonely, I can't bear it. ”

When she said this, his heart moved, and he wanted to burst out, "I will not fear any bloodshed and death, and I will not need protection." ”

However, he still didn't say it in the end.

She is a prince of noble blood, and he is just a guard.

All he had to do was to guard her by her side and give her the greatest safety.

He also didn't want to be a burden for her to make a big difference in the future.

As long as he can make her, he can become her outcast.

"Comb!"

Su Marks commanded.

The comb in Xiao's hand began to slide across her hairline.

Hair is soft and smooth, and with just a few movements, it can be combed from the top of the head all the way to the bottom.

As the hair rose, the fragrant fragrance wafting only seeped his snort and made his heart ripple slightly.

Su Zhen's heart was not very calm at this time.

Usually, it is also the attendants who comb her hair, and she is numb and has no feeling.

Now, looking at Xiao in the mirror holding the clumsy comb of the comb, but it seemed to be combed into her heart all of a sudden, which made her have an urge to reach out and grab his hand holding the comb, "Be my male pet, okay?" ”

Xiao's hand trembled slightly, and the comb fell to the ground.

Instantaneous stagnation of air......

Looking at the flush that quickly swept across his face, Su Zhen suddenly chuckled and let go of the hand that was on the back of his hand, "It's just a joke, haha." ”

Xiao's tense heart was slightly relaxed, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes.

He bent down, picked up the comb on the ground again, and silently brushed her hair again.

Su Zhen also stopped talking, closed his eyes, and calmed his mood a little.

Only she knew that she wasn't joking.

It's just that she can't.

Now, she can still use her young age to refuse the queen to marry her.

In a few more years, it will be impossible to refuse.

What's more, in order to accomplish what she wants, she must marry the son of a powerful minister in the DPRK and China, strive for strong cooperation, and work together to achieve great things.

She didn't want to be wronged, and she didn't want to ruin his life.

It was enough for him to be her bodyguard, her friend, and when she found a good partner, she would marry him, so that he could live a happy married life, and withdraw from his great cause.

She doesn't want the people she cares about to fall victim to her **/conspiracy.
