I was getting ready for dinner with Bayezid, Suleyman, Hurrem and Mihrimah when someone knocked on my doors. I said to aghas on my doors to let in the person.

I turned around and I saw Hurrem Sultana came into my chambers. I got up from my chair and bowed to her.

- Sultanim! - I said to her and smiled acting like everything is the same.

- How you can look at me without any shame when you want to sabotage my son and send him into death? Selim is my son the same way Bayezid is! - Hurrem said to me angrily.

- So you found out that Selim poisoned Bayezid and you did nothing about it. You can't tell your sons are equal to you when you want to defend Selim and don't care that we almost lost Bayezid. - I said to her trying to make feel guilty, as she deserved.

- Who are you to talk like this with me? You are also mother so you should understand me. I was really worried for Bayezid and I prayed to God that everything is fine. But I don't want to see my son Selim dying because of you. - Hurrem yelled on me.

- Bayezid almost died because of Selim and you still try to make Selim look innocent. I never make difference between my children, I even adopted Handan as my own daughter and love her equal as all other children. And you make difference between your blood. That is how different we are. - I said to her and raised my head.

- If anything bad happens to Selim its going to be because of you. As you are mother you should know what pain it would be for me to lose a child. I already lost my Mehmed and Cihangir, and you want to take Selim away from me. - she said to me.

- Selim wanted to take Bayezid away from you and you still don't care. - I said to her.

- If you love your life, you will shut up about that. Sultan won't find out what happened. - Hurrem threatened to me.

- What can you do? Kill me because I care for life of your son Bayezid even more than you do? Because I love and care for him even more than you do? - I asked her and saw she is being really anxious about this talk. I knew its hard for her because they are both her sons, but she had double standards for them.

- I also had a lot of enemies, Aslihan. And I got rid of them. I never included Sultan in that, I did everything alone. - she said to me as she raised her head.

- There is difference between you and me. You came in Palace when Suleyman was already a Sultan. You didn't have to take care of him if someone would kill him some day, because he was already a Sultan. I came to Palace while Bayezid is a Şehzade, and every day his life and life of our children is at risk. I won't shut up about that and only make the things worse. I will fight for my loved ones, and even give my life for them. - I said to Hurrem everything that was on my mind, and I didn't care about it.

- You will see what hell can I make you if you will be reason of Selim's death. - Hurrem told me and started walking out of my chambers.

- Selim will be his own reason alone of his death. - I said to her. She stepped for a second, but then left my chambers.

It was already evening so I got ready for dinner. I've left my chambers and came to Sultan's chambers where the dinner was held at. I saw everyone is already there and that I was late again.

I bowed to them all and sat on the floor next to Bayezid who was really happy today. I didn't want to end this happines with Suleyman's anger, but I think it would be suitable if he would find out tonight what happened with Bayezid lately.

- How have been in Kutahya? Is everything fine in Palace? - Suleyman asked Bayezid. He really wondered what is going on. He was used on Bayezid's bad decisions, scenes and dramas so it was nice for him to see that Bayezid chilled.

- Everything is fine as usual. - Bayezid said to him with a smile, and then looked at me.

- I see Aslihan lead you on good way. I am happy I can only hear good things about you from people here, unlike it was before. - Suleyman said happily and it made me happy also. Bayezid got bettet relations with Suleyman, and soon he will get even better when Sultan finds out what happened.

- Bayezid, why don't you tell our father Sultan the true? We can't hide something like this from him. - Mihrimah looked at Bayezid sadly to give him a notice we should tell that to Sultan. Bayezid wasn't sure how he could do it.

- Bayezid? What are you hiding from me? - Suleyman surprisedly asked Bayezid. He didn't even know what it was about.

-Hunkarim, I didn't want to make you sad.. - Bayezid started talking. At that moment, Hurrem looked at me angrily. Like she is ready to start yelling on me at the same moment, but I returned to her with a smile.

- What happened? - Suleyman asked but no one was answering. I saw Bayezid isn't sure how he should do it, so I took everything in my hands.

- We've got some concubines in our Palace and they told us they were sent by Hurrem Sultana. It was weird to me, so I asked Sultana and she had no idea what is happening. - I said to Suleyman who really wondered what happened. I just saw Hurrem rolling her eyes on me, but I knew I have Mihrimah's support.

- One of those concubines, went to Prince many times. And one night they found him poisoned. She has been posioning him for a long time. - I said to Suleyman and saw him being really angry.

- Bayezid, are you fine now? Why haven't you told me? - he asked him really shocked about what happened.

- I am fine now, Hunkarim. - Bayezid said to him with a smile.

- Who would dare to send those concubines then? - Suleyman asked angrily. Hurrem looked at me so angrily. A normal person would been afraid of her, but I didn't care.

- Maid is in dungeon. I kept her here if you would like to ask her those questions. - I said and turned to Hurrem.

- But she told me, Şehzade Selim threatened her she must do it, or he would kill her family. - I said to Suleyman seriously.

-What?! - Suleyman stood up from the table and yelled. We all had to stand up when he did it. He came closer to me angrily.

- Are you sure she told you Selim did that? - Suleyman yelled in front of me. This time I was really afraid of him.

- That is what Rana Hatun told me. I can tell Bulbul-aga to take her here so she could answer on all your questions. - I looked at him and told him that proving him I am not afraid of anyone and that I am telling the truth.

After some time, Bulbul-aga came with Rana Hatun who bowed to us all. Sultan was pretty mad about everything what happened. I was afraid if they would think it was just a game.

- Rana Hatun, who sent you to poison my son Bayezid? - Suleyman asked her angrily.

- Hunkarim, I already told Aslihan Sultan. Sehzade Selim threatened me. Please don't kill me. I didn't want to do that. He said he would kill my family. I would never do this if he wouldn't blackmailed me. - Rana fell down on her knees and cried in front of Sultan.

- Can you hear your non sense lies you are telling? Why would Selim order you to so something like this? - Hurrem asked her which shocked everyone, especially Mihrimah and Bayezid. Hurrem was defending Selim, again.

I saw Bayezid i getting nervous, so I took his hand and looked at him. I whispered him: "Everything will be right."

- I swear to God Şehzade Selim ordered me to do that. I am from Amasya, there he found me. I can show you money he gave me to do it. - Rana started crying.

I actually felt bad for Rana, but what she did was wrong. I said to her that I will give whatever for her to keep her on life, I didn't know if Sultan would agree with me about that decision.

- Aghas! Call Selim to come to Kutahya immediatley! - Suleyman said to Agha which was standing in front of the doors of chambers.
