Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Chapter 38 The Mysterious Monk

Su Nian saw a man in a hurry in the backyard of the Pro Temple, and curiously wanted to go forward to take a look, but was discovered. The man turned back suddenly, his eyes were cold, like a sharp sword, piercing Su Nian's heart. Su Nian couldn't help but shudder, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

However, she did not back down. After calming herself down, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Who... who are you? Why are you here?"

The man looked Su Nian up and down, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his indifference. He kept his lips tightly closed and did not answer Su Nian's question.

Seeing this, Su Nian bit her lip and continued, "My name is Su Nian, and I'm a donor to the temple. I accidentally bumped into you just now. I'm really sorry."

The man remained silent, but his eyes became deeper and more unpredictable. Su Nian was a little embarrassed, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the man suddenly said, "I am a monk from the temple, and I have been ordered to practice here."

His voice was deep and magnetic, as if carrying an invisible charm. Su Nian's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. She looked at the mysterious monk in front of her, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

"So that's how it is..." Su Nian murmured to herself, her eyes involuntarily attracted by the sandalwood on the man.

The man seemed to notice her gaze and frowned slightly, "Donor, if you have nothing else, please go back."

"Oh, okay..." Su Nian nodded a little disappointedly, turned and left.

But her steps seemed a little heavy, as if something was weighing heavily on her heart.

After returning to the room, Su Nian still couldn't calm down.

She kept thinking of the mysterious monk, his indifference, his eyes, and his unique temperament...

"Could it be... this is the legendary love at first sight?" A blush appeared on Su Nian's face, and she couldn't help laughing at herself for being so ridiculous.

Su Nian didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Knock knock, Miss Su, the princess wants to see you." Chun Tao shouted outside the door.

"Got it." After tidying himself up simply, he opened the door and went out to the room where Hua Xiulan lived.

"Princess, what do you want to see me for?" Su Nian asked in a low voice.

"It's like this. I heard that there are bandits around recently, so I'm reminding you not to wander around. How about letting the secret guards protect you?" Hua Xiulan frowned.

"No need, Princess. I can protect myself." Su Nian quickly refused.

After chatting for a while, we went back to the room.

Before I knew it, it was late at night and the rain began to fall silently.

The rain was getting heavier, as if the sky was torn apart and it was pouring down continuously. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the whole world was covered with darkness, making people feel depressed and terrified.

At this moment, Hua Xiulan keenly sensed that there seemed to be slight footsteps on the roof. Her heartbeat instantly accelerated, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She reacted quickly, disguised herself as lying quietly on the bed, and then quietly hid behind the door curtain, staring at the door, ready to deal with possible danger.

As time went by, Hua Xiulan's breathing became more and more rapid, but she remained highly alert. Finally, a dark figure appeared at the door, with light and strange footsteps. Hua Xiulan widened her eyes, trying to see the face of the person who came, but due to the darkness and heavy rain, she could only see a vague outline.

Who is this mysterious assassin? Why did he come here? Hua Xiulan was full of doubts and tension. She knew that every moment that followed might determine her life or death. She had to think calmly and look for a chance to escape or subdue the other party.

The assassin carefully used his knife to push open the bolt, fearing that any noise would alert others. Then he gently pushed the door open, as if he was afraid of waking up a sleeping baby. Then, he slowly stepped into the room, his steps were slow and cautious, and each step was like stepping on cotton, without making any sound. Finally, he walked quickly to Hua Xiulan's bed like a ghost, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"He actually wants to kill me? Could it be that this is the killer sent by Shen Liangjun? Shen Liangjun...that General Shen Liangjun of Ningyuan? Could it be that Chu Yu is behind all this?" Hua Xiulan kept pondering these questions in her mind, while also thinking about how to escape the current predicament.

Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she did not panic, but tried her best to stay calm. After all, if she could not come up with an effective escape plan, then there might be only one way to go, death.
