The emperor looked out of the window and saw that the people were coming, more and more, with an overwhelming tide, threatening to tear down the wall of the palace. Seeing this, the emperor was forced to withdraw his mandate. On the one hand he ordered the executioner to set Aladdin free, and on the other hand he hastened to announce to the crowd that Aladdin was forgiven and set free. This calmed the agitation of the crowd.
Aladdin was very happy to be free. He looked up and saw the emperor on his throne. He went to the front of the court and said, "Lord, by your grace, you have given me life. I will never forget it. But I must know, what have I done to offend Your Majesty? For what crime did you deserve such treatment?"
"He carries the lamp with him at all times and never leaves it. When he asked me what else he thought of you, he took the lamp from his breast pocket, and showed it to me."
Aladdin was very pleased at the news, and said, 'Listen now, my dear! I'll leave for a while, change out of my suit, and see you again. Don't be surprised when you see me doing it. You must put a maid on the side door and open it for me. I'll teach you how to get rid of this damned thief."
He said, and immediately slipped out of the palace, and began to walk on. On the way he met a farmer and said to him:
"Hello! Banker, will you change your clothes with mine?"
The farmer, not knowing what he meant, refused. He began to take off the peasant's clothes, and at the same time he took off his new coat and gave it to him. After dressing himself as a peasant in peasant's clothes, he went to the nearby town, bought a bottle of a strong anesthetic from the market for two gold pieces, put it in his bosom, and hurried to the gate of the palace, where the maid who kept it opened it for him.
Aladdin went at once to Princess Badinu Butoru and said: "Now go at once and change into your most beautiful dress and make yourself well dressed. And when the damned Moor comes back, you shall greet him with a smile, and a smile, and a smile, and a hearty conversation. Make sure he thinks you've forgotten all about your husband and father. Then you will eat and drink as much as you like with him, for the sole purpose of making him think that you are in love with him, so that he will lose his guard to you. When the time is right, you will quickly take out this bottle of anesthetic and put a few drops into his glass, fill it up again, and try your best to make him drink. As soon as this glass of wine is drunk, he will quickly lose consciousness and fall down like a dead man. Then you let me in, and I'll take care of the rest."
"It would be hard for me to smile, even temporarily, at this damned impudent man. But I will do it to get rid of this wretch, and to be in your arms again."
Aladdin agreed with his wife, ate a little food together, and left her in a hurry.
Princess Badinu Butoru did what Aladdin had told her to do at once. She called her maidservant to dress her in her finest dress, and was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. Just then the African magician came back, and she greeted him with a smile.
