Chapter 337 Shen Yue's Background
Seeing Mo Qianxun's skillful move, Zhang Ye's eyes lit up even more. Although he didn't know what kind of person Shen Yue knew who could invite such a master, he would definitely seize this opportunity to get to know the master.

"I apologize, perhaps I misunderstood what I said earlier. I did not mean to ask you all to help me seize the throne, but rather I hope you can lend a hand to save my father." His father wanted him to be the crown prince, but unfortunately, the empress controlled the harem.

How could the Empress possibly allow the child of her former mother to become the Crown Prince?

"Why should we intervene? I'm sorry, we have limited time and are afraid we can't get involved in your affairs. We'll take our leave now." Mo Qianxun said, drawing her sword and preparing to fly away.

"I can pay you whatever you want, as long as you can save my father." My father's health is deteriorating day by day. Although I know that the Empress's family is behind this, I don't have any concrete evidence. Moreover, my power is not yet fully developed and I need time.

"Your Highness is probably overthinking things. We only know some tricks and are afraid we can't save His Majesty. You might as well just invite a reliable imperial physician for His Majesty; perhaps there's still hope." Mo Qianxun said, and was about to leave.

Zhang Ye was somewhat helpless. Why hadn't he looked for it? He had come here specifically for a unique medicinal herb; otherwise, he would never have come.

But now that he has seen their methods, he feels more and more that perhaps only they can help him.

Mo Qianxun and the others exchanged a glance, not wanting to get involved in this mess.

Just then, Shen Yue's corpse seemed to light up for a moment, and then Shen Yue's soul emerged from the corpse.

Having been disfigured and abandoned, she now harbors resentment, and her soul is pale red. If left unchecked, she might transform into a vengeful red ghost or even become a zombie.

Mo Qianxun examined her corpse; at this point, her fingernails had grown considerably longer.

"My lords, please help Prince Ye." Shen Yue knelt down immediately.

"Why? Are you out of your mind because you're in love?"

"I know you all came here to prevent me from turning into a zombie. I can assure you that if you help Prince Ye, even if I am not recognized by the Shen family, I will not turn into a zombie." Her consciousness had actually remained clear the whole time.

She heard everything Ling Feng muttered as he searched.

"Are you out of your mind?" Mo Qianxun looked at her with some doubt. My god, this is really love-struck. She'd rather not go home than not help the person she likes?
Shen Yue gave her a deep look: "There's a reason why I don't want to go back to the Shen family. I want to help Zhang Ye, not because of love, but because of guilt. When I was alive, I did many wrong things to him. Now that I can help him, it should be considered a kind of compensation!"

There are some things she only realized after she died. She once wanted her family's approval, so she did many wrong things, but she couldn't get a single bit of their love. Now, she doesn't want it anymore.

"008, what should we do now?" This mission is going off track!
"Host, don't panic. Let me go ask about the situation with the Heavenly Dao." 008 finished speaking and vanished in a flash. Mo Qianxun looked at her: "What exactly happened between you and the Shen family?"

"Um... are you talking to Shen Yue? Can I see her?" He knew that there were people who could communicate with the spirit world, but he didn't have that talent, so he was very curious about what Shen Yue's soul was like.

Mo Qianxun looked at Shen Yue: "Your soul is very solid. If you wish, you can also appear in front of him."

Shen Yue glanced back at Zhang Ye, and then her figure gradually appeared before everyone.

When Zhang Ye saw a ghost for the first time, he subconsciously took a step back. After seeing the wounds on Shen Yue's face, he felt a little sad. What kind of hatred or resentment could drive a perfectly good girl to such a state?

Seeing the shock on Zhang Ye's face, Shen Yue laughed self-deprecatingly: "Unbelievable, isn't it? I, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, have become such a grotesque figure."

"Tell me exactly what happened. I'm willing to help you get justice, considering how you helped me this time."

Shen Yue paused for two seconds: "You, are you really willing to help me get justice? But you don't even care about what I did to you when I was alive?" So generous?
"I know that those things were not your own choice." In fact, he had already had those things investigated. Behind all the absurd things Shen Yue did, there was the shadow of the Shen family. He just didn't know why the Shen family did it. This affected not only himself, but also his own daughter.

"Your Highness must have heard that the current mistress of the Shen family is actually a second wife!"

Mo Qianxun and her three companions immediately guessed what was going on; it was just a melodramatic plot!
"My mother was the eldest daughter of the Duke's family. When she was still unmarried, she was the apple of her family's eye. Later, after my father passed the imperial examination, he began to pursue my mother. In the end, the two of them got married and had me."

Zhang Ye nodded. Everyone in the capital knew about this. After all, when Lord Shen pursued Madam Shen, it was quite a grand affair, a legendary tale at the time.

"You all know these things, but did you know that he already had a wife before high school? The two were childhood sweethearts, and their marriage after adulthood was a natural progression. However, he did not receive much attention from the Emperor after high school, and he was unwilling to accept this, so he set his sights on my mother, or rather, on the power of my mother's family."

Mo Qianxun and the others looked like they were saying, "See, just as I thought, a phoenix man after all."

“He concealed from my mother the fact that he already had a wife and a daughter at home. Later, with the help of my grandfather, his official career was quite successful until his wife and daughter came looking for him.”

Mo Qianxun and the others understood: had this been a case of conspiring with the ex-wife to murder the current wife?

"He claimed that the mother and daughter were distant cousins. When my mother was pregnant with me, she didn't have much energy to observe them. It wasn't until the day she gave birth that she learned the truth from that woman. She didn't make it through the ordeal and passed away. You should know what happened after that. He openly brought that woman into his household as his second wife and took good care of her. Under that woman's deliberate instruction, I was only slightly better off than that beggar."
