Ye Yu, on the other hand, frowned and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense. His Majesty is asking you about serious matters. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame my sword for being merciless."
Su Jin, however, did not take it to heart, still wearing that faint smile, but with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Your Majesty is in such a hurry, but the matter behind it is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. I am just a nobody, and I only know the tip of the iceberg."
