武皇愍之，遣劉太妃入城慰勞。 The Martial Emperor was moved and sent Consort Liu into the city to comfort him.

太妃引來謁見，存孝泥首請罪曰：「兒立微勞，本無顯過，但被人中傷，申明無路，迷昧至此！」 She brought him to audience. Cunxiao prostrated himself and pleaded: "I earned only modest merit and committed no grave offense, yet I was struck down by slander with no way to clear my name, and in my confusion came to this!"
