The wedding of Hatice and Ibrahim lasted 15 days. A lot of gold was spent from the state treasury, which caused discontent among the people and the Janissaries.
The commander-in-chief of the Janissaries, Mustafa-aga, asked Ibrahim when they would go on a new campaign. But Ibrahim replied that a year had not passed since they returned from Rhodes. A big hike requires good preparation, so in the near future, the hike is not planned.
The Janissaries were not satisfied with such an answer and they held a grudge. Meanwhile in Egypt, Ahmed Pasha raised a rebellion against Suleiman, and Ibrahim went to punish the rebel.
Suleiman with Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska and children decided to go hunting in Edirne. The Janissaries decided to take advantage of the absence of the Sultan and Ibrahim and raise a rebellion demanding that Ibrahim be removed from the post of Grand Vizier and set off on a new campaign.
In Edirnes, Mustafa, yearning for his mother, asked to go home. Suleiman orders Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska with the children to return to the capital, and he himself decided to hunt a little more.
Hurrem's carriage drove into the capital, just at the moment when the rebellion began and Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska was forced to hide in Hatice's palace. However, the rebels decided not to touch the palace of the Sultan's family. Having defeated the city, they went to the palace of Ibrahim, with the intention of burning it.
Matrakchi and Luka, as the only men in the palace, took it upon themselves to protect the women and decided to hide them in the basement.
However, Hatice, fleeing the rioters, rolled down the stairs and lost consciousness. Luke decided to carry the mistress to a safe place in his arms. But he was shot in the back with an arrow.
Suleiman, having learned that the Janissaries staged a revolt in his absence, hastened to return to the capital. The Sultan understood that if he fulfilled the demand of the rebels, then he would lose his authority. Suleiman orders Mustafa-aga to be brought to him in order to listen to his demand.
Satisfied Janissaries, they decide that the Sultan was frightened and will fulfill all the conditions. However, the padishah personally deprived the head of the instigator of the rebellion, and then ordered his head to be thrown at the feet of the Janissaries.
Suleiman managed to suppress the rebellion of the Janissaries and punish the traitors. However, the rebellion did not pass without consequences. Hatice, fleeing the rebels, lost her unborn child.
Ibrahim was not removed from his post, but he lost the right to become a father.
