You're referring to the incident in which Gulliver, a giant to the Lilliputians, puts out a fire in the Queen's apartment by relieving himself on it. Of course, no Queen is interesting in residing in a urine-drenched flat, so Gulliver's good intentions garner him no good will.
Some of Swift's allegories are debated, but probably he's illustrating the message that common men with their common sensibilities can never be sure of winning royal approval.
Swift's descriptions of Gulliver urinating and defecating serve to emphasize the bodily functions that are typically considered private and taboo, highlighting the grotesque and sometimes absurd aspects of human nature. By including these intimate details, Swift may be aiming to satirize societal norms, challenge societal taboos, or portray Gulliver in a vulnerable and relatable light.
