Rashi, on Esth 8:3

“And not content with these things, she fell down at the king’s feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect.”

“to avert the harm of Haman that his evil plan should not be realized.”
