After the execution of Mustafa, in the military camp the janissaries began to demand the blood of Rustem - the pasha. And in order to save his life, Rustem Pasha was forced to shamefully flee to the capital, although before that the sovereign managed to demote him.
In the palace everyone was eagerly awaiting news from the camp - what decision was made by the sovereign in relation to Shehzade Mustafa.
Rustem Pasha, upon arrival at the palace, invited Mihrimah and Khyurrem, the Sultan, to his office. And he told them that he had arrived with good news - the ruler had executed the shehzadeh.
Mihrimah did not listen to anything else and silently left the office and already in the harem in front of everyone, having paid, sat down on the floor.
She is probably more guilty of the execution of her brother, because it was Mikhrimah who stole Mustafa's seal, and without this seal, the letter would have no effect. Mihrimah knew that the intrigue started by her mother and hubby was leading to the death of her brother, but she herself volunteered to help them. And after the execution of the execution, she “let her drool” in full view of the entire harem.
For Bayazid, the news of the execution came as a blow. He sincerely loved his brother and believed in his devotion.
Fatma - the sultan and Gulfem rushed to blame Khyurrem and Rustem for everything. Both women were generous with words and insults.
Fatma called them dirty jackals, and Bayazid was in solidarity with her, he, like everyone else, was sure that his mother and Rustem had a hand in the execution of Shehzade.
But, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska replied:
- You blame me for the execution of Mustafa. Believe me, I am just as saddened by this news. And if you want to know why the shehzade was executed, then ask the ruler about it when he arrives.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska knows that no one will dare to approach Suleiman with this question. After all, everyone knows that the orders of the overlord are not discussed.
