Seeing that the emperor was angry, Liu Dechang bowed and pleaded:
"Your Majesty, I lost my wife and daughter in the past. Your Majesty was compassionate and searched the capital city extensively, but to no avail. The people of Chu held a fake funeral for my wife to dissuade me from searching. Now that I know they are still alive, I naturally want to take them back. Please, Your Majesty, understand my years of loneliness and helplessness. For your sake, please restore their names and their status as Daning citizens. I thank you very much."
As he said this, Liu Dechang suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed to the emperor with tears in his eyes.
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, took a long breath, and then waved his hand.
"The people I hate most in my life are those from Chu and those who deceive me. You have both. Considering that you two have no other feelings towards me, I will not bother with you.

The emperor waved his hand mercilessly.
"Although they are not from Chu, they have been in Chu for many years. If they care about Daning State and you, General Liu, why didn't they return earlier? Why did they return when Chu and Daning were at war? Who can guarantee that they are not spies from Chu? In my opinion, they want to return to the Duke's Mansion because they must have some hidden secret. Please stop pleading for them."
After saying these words, he waved to Liu Xi,
"I'm tired. Help me lie down and take a nap. You all can leave."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of compromise and even did not want to discuss the matter any further, Leng Yu and Liu Dechang could only walk out of the Yangxin Palace in disappointment.
Until they returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, neither of them said a word, perhaps they were both thinking about what to do next.
