There now came to him a letter from his father-in-law, Acet Can (Asaf Khan), the wazlr, father of Jahangir's beloved queen and of Sultan Khurram's wife, but by different mothers. The contents were that he (Khurram) must leave his place of refuge by whatever method he could devise, and procure a secret meeting with Mahabat Khan, then actually governor at the city of Brampur (Burhanpur). If he (Khurram) would come to court he should be made king, and everything was in readiness. The prince, finding that the King of Bijapur would neither consent to assist him nor even grant him his liberty, resorted to the following trick. He feigned for some time that he was ill, until the news spreading abroad everywhere, the King of Bijapur sent his people to see him and find out the truth. Sultan Khurram was informed of the men's arrival, and sent secretly to order the slaughter of a goat, the blood of which he drank. After this he ordered the envoys to be introduced. When they came in he shammed being overcome with nausea, and vomited blood, making himself out to be at the point of death. - [Previous: 64.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.64.2) - [Next: 64.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.64.4) - [Up: 64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.64) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.64.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.64.3) · Pramāṇa
