Chapter 473

But the crux of the matter lay with his childhood sweetheart, Miss Chen. According to Qin Hu’s memories, that day he had accompanied his fiancée to the palace to pay respects to Princess Changan. The Princess and Chen Ruoli had been close since childhood, so she had arranged a banquet. But later, Qin Hu had blacked out from drinking. When he woke up, he was already in the Imperial Guard’s prison, informed that he had drunkenly harassed the Princess with illicit intent. Even more bizarre was what followed: Chen Ruoli had submitted a formal impeachment against her fiancé, Qin Hu, detailing seventy-two criminal offenses, each one backed by evidence. Qin Hu had felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt; he simply couldn't believe his ears.
