`` Alas ! '' she said , `` I am the innocent cause of our sorrows , '' and told him of the exchange of the lamp . `` Now I know , '' cried Aladdin , `` that we have to thank the African magician for this ! Where is the lamp ? '' `` He carries it about with him , '' said the Princess . `` I know , for he pulled it out of his breast to show me . He wishes me to break my faith with you and marry him , saying that you were beheaded by my father 's command . He is for ever speaking ill of you but I only reply by my tears . If I persist , I doubt not but he will use violence . '' Aladdin comforted her , and left her for a while . He changed clothes with the first person he met in the town , and having bought a certain powder , returned to the Princess , who let him in by a little side door . `` Put on your most beautiful dress , '' he said to her `` and receive the magician with smiles , leading him to believe that you have forgotten me . Invite him to sup with you , and say you wish to taste the wine of his country . He will go for some and while he is gone I will tell you what to do . '' She listened carefully to Aladdin and when he left she arrayed herself gaily for the first time since she left China . She put on a girdle and head-dress of diamonds , and , seeing in a glass that she was more beautiful than ever , received the magician , saying , to his great amazement : `` I have made up my mind that Aladdin is dead , and that all my tears will not bring him back to me , so I am resolved to mourn no more , and have therefore invited you to sup with me ; but I am tired of the wines of China , and would fain taste those of Africa . '' The magician flew to his cellar , and the Princess put the powder Aladdin had given her in her cup . When he returned she asked him to drink her health in the wine of Africa , handing him her cup in exchange for his , as a sign she was reconciled to him . Before drinking the magician made her a speech in praise of her beauty , but the Princess cut him short , saying : `` Let us drink first , and you shall say what you will afterward . '' She set her cup to her lips and kept it there , while the magician drained his to the dregs and fell back lifeless .
The Princess then opened the door to Aladdin , and flung her arms round his neck ; but Aladdin put her away , bidding her leave him , as he had more XXXXX do .
