It is possible for a child to die of fear.
When the children were young, adults would not let the children see them killing chickens, for fear of scaring the children.
But the one who died now was Zhu Biao's eldest son. You must know that this child was born with a golden key in his mouth. Who dares to frighten him?
Lao Zhu's eyes were so sharp, and he could clearly see the hint of surprise on Han Du's face.
"What, what did you find?"
Han Du turned around and explained: "I don't dare to judge this. Please give me more time to take a closer look."
Hearing that Han Du had an appearance, Lao Zhu's eyes were sharp. Sure enough, someone had poisoned my grandson?
He waved to Handu Handu, "Just go ahead and do it. No matter what, I don't blame you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Han Du thanked Lao Zhu and turned his attention to the child again. He was about to reach out and unbutton his clothes to see if there were any injuries on the child's body.
Lao Zhu seemed not to think about his grandson's body, being disturbed again and again, so he said: "The imperial doctor and Mao Xiang have already checked it, and there is no trace of injury."
Now that someone had seen it, Han Du couldn't check it anymore, so he took back his hand.
He turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if I could give you a small piece of magnet?"
Just because there are no scars on the body does not mean that he did not die from injuries.
Han Du has watched various crime movies, in which someone kills someone by penetrating a slender steel needle from the top of his head into the victim's brain. People killed by this method have no scars on their bodies. Because the place where the steel needle is inserted will only leave a tiny dot hidden in the hair. Even if someone sees it, they will only mistakenly think it is a mole grown on the victim. This technique is very subtle and can easily fool the eyes of experienced players.
But he couldn't fool the magnet.
Within a moment, someone delivered the magnet.
Han Du gently weighed the magnet with his hand and felt carefully around Zhu Xiongying's hair, but found nothing unusual.
Putting the magnet away, Han Du frowned. Did he really die of fear?
If he died of fear, then someone must have deliberately frightened him. What method was used to frighten him?
Han Du looked away and looked into the room.
I saw a puddle of water in the corner and a copper basin overturned on the ground. Han Du frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Everyone bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, and no one answered Han Du.
When Lao Zhu saw this, he shouted loudly: "Tell me, what's going on? If no one speaks out, they will all be executed."
The palace maids and eunuchs were shaking even more violently. Although they did not dare to raise their heads, they all looked at the palace maid caught by the guards from the corner of their eyes.
The palace maid also said quickly: "Back to the emperor, that is the water that the slave brought to His Highness early this morning for washing. As soon as the slave came in, he saw His Highness and found that His Highness... In panic, the slave gave the water to Knocked over.”
As she spoke, she pointed toward the wall. Apparently, the palace maid was pointing to the location where she knocked over the basin.
Han Du looked over and saw a tall man lying on the ground.
"Have you ever put a copper basin here?" Han Du asked, pointing to a spot on the ground.
The bed in this place is not far away, only about two steps away.
"No, no" the palace maid shook her head repeatedly and explained: "No matter how brave I am, I don't dare to put the water used by His Highness on the ground."
Then there is a problem.
Han Du slowly squatted down, following the change of the angle of his sight. Just now it was just a vague circle. Under the change of light angle, it appeared clearly in Han Du's eyes. It looked like a trace on the bottom of a basin or a wooden barrel.
Han Du squatted down, turned to look at the palace maid, and continued to ask: "Since you are the palace maid serving here, you should be very familiar with the things in this room. Can you think carefully about what happened in this place last night? Didn’t you leave a copper basin or a wooden barrel or something like that?”
Although the palace maid was extremely frightened, she still racked her brains and thought hard after hearing Han Du's words, because she knew that maybe this was her only hope of survival. If this matter can be investigated to the bottom of the matter, then she can survive. If His Highness Taisun is so confused and dies without understanding, then she will definitely die.
After all, His Highness Taisun cannot die in vain.
But no matter how much the palace maid recalled, she couldn't remember anything being left there. It was probably that nothing had been left there.
"My lord, I remember very clearly that nothing has ever been placed there." The palace maid said, "On the contrary, ice basins are placed above every night."
"What are you doing with the ice basin?" Han Du asked casually.
"His Royal Highness Taisun said a few days ago that it was hot to sleep in, so the female officer ordered the servants to prepare an ice basin for His Highness every night to cool off." The palace maid replied truthfully.
It was indeed getting hot at this time of year, but Han Du could still bear it, so he didn't notice it. However, I think that children have a higher body temperature than adults because of their fast metabolism. The ability to tolerate heat is somewhat worse than that of adults, so children are actually the least heat-resistant.
Many couples who take care of their children will know that children are most likely to catch cold by kicking the quilt. The reason is that children are the most intolerant to heat. The temperature that adults think is just right is too hot for children.
But it’s such a luxury to cool off with an ice basin.
The only way to get ice at this time is to dig an ice cellar. In winter, the ice cubes are collected, stored in the ice cellar, and then used in the summer. This requires a lot of manpower, power, and financial resources.
Lao Zhu was usually very stingy, but he didn't expect that Dong Palace would be so tolerant, even having such a luxury item as an ice cellar.
"Which female official ordered you to put the ice basin?" Han Du suddenly asked.
When the palace maid heard this, she turned her head and looked at one person.
The person raised his head and said, "It's me. I'm the female official of the East Palace, responsible for the food and daily life of His Highness Taisun. A few days ago, His Highness Taisun couldn't sleep well at night. He got hot and sweated at night, so I ordered someone to put an ice basin on it to cool down. . In the past few days, His Highness can sleep peacefully."
This person looks to be in his thirties, with an oval face and red phoenix eyes, and his appearance should have been good when he was young. It's a pity that I don't pay much attention to maintenance, and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes are very deep. One sentence made it clear that as the female official responsible for food and daily life, when His Highness Taisun was uncomfortable sleeping, she put an ice basin to cool down so that His Highness Taisun could sleep well. This was her duty.
Han Du didn't say much, just nodded. Then he stood up and looked at the chest-high wooden table. Sure enough, there was a circular mark on it where the copper basin had been placed. If the palace maid had not told lies, the ice basin should have been placed on it.
