She was forced, due of clothes, and was thrown into a vacant bedrooh-class futon laid out Not the narrow room she usually used
The futon was h class cotton, a world of difference to the usual bed that was just piled with straw
”My body doesn't feel strange, and I already drank the antidote”
Truthfully speaking, the antidote was less It was that sort of poison
”What are you saying? After that, the cabinet minister who ate it was teeerible There's no way that he was fine just after vo”
Infa worriedly placed the damp cloth on her forehead
(What a truly foolish Cabinet Minister)
He should have vomited out properly as an initial treatment
Even if she was curious, she couldn't leave here now, so she decided to close her eyes as there was nothing else she could do
It was a pointlessly long day
She woke up before noon, having accumulated quite a bit of tiredness
For a maid, this was bad

She backed down surprisingly easily
Maomao faced the consort with a dubious face
”Everyone ca who in the world that maid was It was dreadful”
”I sincerely apologise”
”That face is convenient because it's not recognisable at a glance”
She had planned to go about peacefully, but it didn't seem to be the case

It would have been faster if she went herself, but Consort Gyokuyou stayed her hand And so sheroom
”This is from Jishi+n-sama”
Gaoshun hurriedly greeted her as soon as he arrived and placed the cloth bundle onto the table
She opened the silver container Inside was the soup that was served
