He Lianfang is dead, killed himself. Before his death, he left a suicide note for Zhao Yao, saying that he had no use in this world anymore and no longer had any thoughts. It was time to seek forgiveness from Prince Yi Yong.
A few days ago, after Zhao Yao opened up about everything to He Lianfang, he worried that He Lianfang might not take it well and begged him repeatedly not to do anything foolish. He even sent people to keep an eye on He Lianfang to prevent such actions, yet in the end, he still took his life.
Although He Lianfang did some bad things, like killing the entire family of the deposed Crown Prince, driving the three concubines to death, and other matters, Zhao Yao did not blame him.
He Lianfang was by Zhao Yao's side for over a decade, teaching him, caring for him, comforting him... To Zhao Yao, He Lianfang was his mentor, his family, and also his friend.
