For a period drama, this one is surprisingly tame where gore is concerned. Most things are only mentioned, rather than shown.

Sort of. The emperor ignores a son whose mother he doesn't like, but the child is not denied physical necessities.

By half of the story, two characters (main and 'background') have miscarried. There are miscarriage "scenes" from cause to where blood is shown (on clothes, hands) to indicate that it happened. It's also mentionned to have happened to other characters in the past.
Miscarriage is an important plot point in the series and it is mentionned, discussed, threatened, schemed, at length and many times.

There are very few explicit torture scenes in this series compared to most period dramas. In most cases here, it is only described or implied.

Episode 2, 12'20+, a maid character gets slapped multiples times as "discipline"/punishment, by another woman. It is likely to happen many times (different occasions and characters) over the course of the show.

End of episode 3, a dead character is found in a well. There is a clear shot of their face under the surface of the water. It's not clear if the character was already dead or just unconscious when put in the well.
