Fortunately, the assassin only gave them a knockout incense, not a deadly poison that kills instantly.
Fortunately, Tian An protected the queen, otherwise even if they escaped the assassin's hands, they would not be able to escape the blame for failing to protect the queen.
After thanking Tian An for a while, they consciously took over the responsibility of taking care of the queen and let Tian An go to rest quickly.
Tian An didn't bother to be polite with them. She was still worried about Deng Xue and Nanny Xiao, and didn't know how they were doing.
