WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I did my best to be a good brother, and his tragic downfall is purely his own doing.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Performative Filial Deference (Erchen)

Princes address themselves as 'Erchen' (your servant-son) before the Emperor, balancing filial duty with imperial hierarchy where admitting negligence demonstrates loyalty and selflessness.
