Fear for his own life, Rustem - Pasha was not allowed to hold on with dignity, and in the corps of the Janissaries, he insulted the soldiers, ordering his age to taste the soup served to him.
The Janissaries knew in advance that the Pasha would shake with fear and their plan worked.
Rustem himself brought discord into their relationship. When the chief janissary, Ali - aha expressed his displeasure, Rustem's guards drew their sabers.
Suleiman, having learned about the incident in the garrison of the Janissaries, was enraged and, after an investigation, passed a harsh sentence - to send the Grand Vizier into exile in Herzegovina.
Mihrimah, knowing that if her husband's reputation suffers, her reputation will also suffer, and decided to talk with her father. But, as you know, the decisions of the Sultan are not contested, and Suleiman did not change his decision.
Mihrimah deciding that if he cannot reverse the decision of the sovereign, then he can postpone it for a while. She orders the medicine to prepare a harmless broth that will "knock" her down like a sick woman.
Suleiman, having learned about the illness of his beloved daughter, allowed Rustem to stay with his wife until she recovered.
But the disease cannot last forever, and Rustem still had to leave the capital.
What drove Mihrimah - love for her husband or her own honor? From the frames of the film, one can judge that the daughter of the sovereign was more worried about her reputation, but judging by the historical data, Mikhrimakh and Rustem loved each other very much.
