What did they expect. Let's be honest, it's not just the emperor, everyone can see through their plan because why would u desperately want to paint a portrait of someone who committed genocide to your race. I understand trying to fool him by lying about wanting to be his lap dogs but they have no value for the emperor so why would he fall for it. It's just extremely suspicious. Not to mention the fact that he despises them enough to ... slaughter their whole race. It's just so stupid and I'm glad the author isn't shying away from presenting it like that instead of like making the emperor stupid enough to fall for their plan. He' doesn't fall for it, he's just playing with them like animals.
