Zhitao looked at Jin Fei, who was about to collapse, and whispered, "Your Majesty."

Although Zhitao helped others many times, the queen didn't care.

"It is really because of this servant that I got angry and neglected Concubine Jin."

After saying that, he motioned to Zhitao, "Please take a seat."

Wu Jin sat down tremblingly and looked at Zhi Tao with admiration.

Isn't it said that the queen is a powerful figure? How come she is so submissive to a little maid?

The Queen had been resting with her eyes closed, and did not notice Concubine Jin's gaze, "Concubine Jin, why aren't you with Concubine Rou today?"

The queen didn't think it was a big deal, but for Wu Jin, it was a fatal question.

How long has Wu Jin been in the palace? How does he know the relationship between the queen and other concubines?

The queen didn't hear Wu Jin's answer for a long time, and slowly opened her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Wu Jin was shocked, "No, nothing!"

The Queen narrowed her eyes and asked, "What does Concubine Jin want to see me about?"

Wu Jin quickly stood up, "No, your concubine, I came to pay my respects to the queen."

Hearing this, the Queen smiled and said, "It has been more than a month since Concubine Jin entered the palace. Why did you only remember to pay your respects to me now?"

Concubine Jin broke out in a cold sweat and felt more and more that coming to see the Queen today was a wrong decision.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, go back if you have nothing else to do. I still need to rest."

Wu Jinru was pardoned and quickly took his leave.

After Wu Jin left, the Queen laughed out loud and asked, "Does this palace eat people? Why did she get so scared? This made it impossible for me to entertain her properly. It's really disappointing."

Zhitao slowly put a bun on the queen's hair and replied calmly, "It's not that the queen is scary, it's that she has something wrong."

After saying that, she wanted to find some jewelry in the jewelry box, but the queen waved her hand and said, "No, I need to sleep for a while."

Zhitao turned around and said, "But I haven't had breakfast or taken my medicine yet!"

The queen smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just this one meal. Your brother's medicine is very effective. I didn't have any dreams after drinking it yesterday, and I don't have a headache today."

Zhitao smiled and said, "As long as it works."

Then his face pulled, "But no, my lady has to take the medicine before going to sleep, otherwise the medicine will not work."

The queen had never been so angry before, her face was extremely gloomy, "I want to sleep."

Zhitao didn't care about all this and just played the role of a dedicated and loyal little girl.

Zhitao frowned, and it really seemed like that, "My lady, you are not afraid of hardship, are you?"

This sentence touched the queen's sore spot.

Zhitao understood and advised earnestly, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease, Madam."

"Besides, today I have some candied fruit that I specially made to make sure the medicine isn't that bitter."

"Really?" The queen was skeptical. Apart from the fact that the medicine was too bitter, she thought she could sleep after dinner.

"Of course it's real. I'll get a piece for you to try." Zhitao opened the door as she said that.

Who would have thought that a little palace maid outside the door would burst into tears, "Sister Zhitao."

Zhitao frowned, looked at the little palace maid's red and swollen face, and quickly closed the door, obviously not wanting the queen to hear.

Zhitao took the little palace maid to the small kitchen without saying a word.

Not long after Zhitao left, the palace door opened.

In the small kitchen, Nanny Li had made a mess. When Zhitao arrived, Nanny Li was beating someone with a whip.

"Stop," Zhitao walked into the small kitchen, looked around, and saw the mess on the floor. Zhitao was furious.

"Mammy, what are you doing? Don't you know it's almost time for breakfast? You destroyed the small kitchen. What about the Madam's breakfast?"

Nanny Li snorted coldly, "Bah, you damned girl, I have ignored you these days, but you have really become a tyrant."

As he spoke, he grabbed a little palace maid behind him and threw her to the ground. "Just now, this little bitch actually dared to poison the Queen's medicine."

After saying that, she looked at Zhitao proudly and said, "She also said that you taught him that."

The palace maid that Nanny Li threw out looked the same as the palace maid following Zhitao, and they were obviously twin sisters.

Nanny Li spat, "I didn't expect there would be a fish that slipped through the net. It's a relief that you came here so quickly."

"It's good that you're here. Then let our Miss Zhitao explain what's going on."

Just after she finished speaking, Nanny Li looked behind Zhitao and her eyes lit up, "Madam, I have found evidence.

Zhitao sneered in her heart. Some people don’t care about life even if it is given to them, and they insist on seeking death.

Zhitao saluted the queen calmly.

"My lady, I didn't give you any drugs."

Madam Li yelled, "I saw it with my own eyes, and you are still trying to make excuses."

The Queen glanced at Li Mama calmly, then looked at the top of Zhitao's head, "Then how do you explain what Li Mama saw with her own eyes?"

"Your Majesty," the palace maid who was thrown out by Nanny Li stood up. It was Biyu from Baohua Palace.

Biyu cried and said, "Yes, Sister Zhitao, I did this, but I didn't give you medicine, I gave you sugar."

"Sugar?" The queen frowned.

Zhitao explained, "This is a special preserve made by me. It can be added to the medicine to neutralize the bitter taste."

Zhitao smiled bitterly, "It's just more troublesome. Someone has to keep an eye on it and add it in batches."

Ziyu also knelt down at this time and took out a paper bag from her arms, "This is it."

The queen took it and looked at it, and it was indeed candy.

The Queen's eyes swept over Nanny Li, and Nanny Li broke out in a cold sweat.

He said hurriedly, "You are talking nonsense. What you have in your hand is candy, but what she has in her hand is not."

Ziyu defended herself, "I am not talking nonsense. The candy in my hand was given to me by Sister Zhitao last night."

Biyu said, "The candy in my hand was given to me by Sister Zhitao early this morning."

"Sister Zhitao said she would help the Majesty wash and brush her teeth, so she gave the job of boiling medicine to this servant. Everyone in the kitchen can testify to this."

At this time, the others also knelt on the ground, "Yes, I can also testify."

Madam Li insisted, "If that's the case, it should be enough for one person. Why do both of you have it?"

Zi Yu covered her face and said firmly, "Because the nanny punished me yesterday, I caught a cold and was afraid that I would be sick if I returned to the queen, so I took over the shift with my sister."

Zhitao kowtowed and said, "It's like this, Madam, they told me, and I thought it wasn't a big deal. Madam's health is the first priority, and one person is enough to make the medicine, so I agreed on my own initiative."

Nanny Li became agitated when she heard this. She knew the Queen's temper. If Zhitao dared to act on her own, she would be dead.

Unexpectedly, the queen was not angry. Instead, she gently helped Zhitao up and said, "I said before that you are my chief maid."

"It's up to you to make the decision when the two little girls switch shifts. You can't be said to be acting on your own."

Zhitao was so moved that she almost cried, "My queen."

The Queen held Zhitao's hand and said, "Okay, there's no need to say thank you. Your helping me manage the palace is the greatest gratitude I can give you."

Zhitao nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Madam."
