Hongyi opened the letter, and the beautiful small calligraphy and the content came into view:
Brother, I don’t know if you will see this letter. I am sorry that I have known about your existence since I was born, but have never met you.
I have always wanted to see my brother, but I am worried that Yan Fan knowing your existence will disrupt your free life. Yan Fan kept me just to let me enter the palace and cause trouble in the harem so that he can take the opportunity to make a comeback.
I have been acting arrogantly these years just to make him give up the idea of sending me to the palace, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up.
Tianqi is peaceful and prosperous. As long as I am alive, he will find a way to control me and make me do things I don't want to do. I don't want to cause chaos in the harem, and I don't want to hurt the emperor.
Ever since I was old enough to understand, I have been secretly competing with him, but I know clearly that I can't beat him.
Over the years, I have been living in the cage of Yan Mansion wearing a mask. This kind of life is too tiring. Since he wants to send me into the palace, I will not let him do so, so I choose to commit suicide.
I have considered that this choice may have disadvantages. Yan Fan may know about my brother's existence and go find him to replace me.
But I believe that my brother will not be found by him. Even if he is found, I have already made all the arrangements. Please forgive my cowardice.
I deliberately let Yan Fan lock up the maid in the woodshed. If my brother is really found by Yan Fan, she can tell him everything and prevent him from entering the palace. In this way, my brother will not be used by Yan Fan, and Min'er and mother will rest in peace in the afterlife.
Hongyi stroked the letter paper, his red eyes fixed on the three words "Min'er" in the lower right corner of the letter, which were blurred by the writer's tears.
