Over time, apart from a few aging court officials and royal relatives still holding out hope for the Lifespan Extension Pill,
many had realized something was amiss, convinced that the Lifespan Extension Pill was a sham and that Emperor Kangqian had hoarded the Longevity Peaches for himself.
It was only because Emperor Kangqian's policies had become increasingly lenient and increasingly favorable to the royal relatives, court officials, and noble clans, that no significant uproar had occurred.
The only one who might be discontented was probably The Eldest Imperial Son born of the previous Empress.

For The Eldest Imperial Son's greatest enemy was no longer his siblings, but his father who had most likely consumed the Longevity Peach and could thus live a long and healthy life!
