In the last episodes of The Magnificent Century, Sultan Suleiman loses consciousness in his chambers before the great campaign against the Persians.
Unconscious, he is found by Afife - Khatun, who orders to urgently bring doctors.
After examining the overlord, the healer finds an ulcer on his back and suggests that it may be a boil. However, the ulcers do not go away, but begin to appear on the legs, which causes severe pain.
Despite his health and the prohibition of doctors, Suleiman still decides to go on a campaign, and orders not to tell anyone about his illness, even Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the Sultan.
The first days on the campaign Suleiman stood firm. But weather conditions, stress and climate change - affected the health and the sovereign's illness began to progress.
Up to the point that the overlord loses consciousness in front of the soldiers and janissaries.
On his return to Istanbul, Suleiman finally fell ill, which caused a wave of people.
Despite the fact that the sovereign's illness was kept in the strictest confidence, the people and the janissaries demanded to know the truth.
The best doctors of the state fought for the health of the Sultan. Suleiman was diagnosed with gout and many ulcers on the legs, which caused terrible pain and intense fever.
The Sultan remained in oblivion for three months. Of course, during this time in the palace, passions in the palace did not fade away. Despite the fact that the sovereign is still alive, many began to think about which of the shahzadeh to clear the way to the throne.
However, through the efforts of the doctors and Hurrrem - the sultan, the sovereign still managed to return from the other world.
True, this required immersing him in an ice bath.
Surprisingly, all the children of Suleiman were happy with the recovery of the sovereign and only Selim had a spark of regret.
