Quite stupid, to not have banned those palace maids from being alone with the wife. Some orders are lacking here, an oversight that should be below the male lead's level of intelligence. It's a much too lazy plot device.

Because it will notice the Emperor, the last thing ML want to be happen. The palace maids also knew something they didn't, so it's like waiting they act within ML's territory (the reason he placed the doctor and his trusted man). It's clearly stated that the maid did made the doctor away (plot device, indeed, but I'd say still within rational human error irl), but she came back didn't she (and caught them red-handed).

Nah, walking in on their physical abuse would be more than enough reason to remove them completely. Nothing for the emperor to notice, apart from having stupid spies. Letting them stay to observe, but never get close, would be giving them way too much grace, even in a situation where you don't want the emperor to know that the crazy princess is actually sane.

Oh boy I hope those maids gets what's coming to them. I hope this is what caused the MC to snap and punish those that deserve it

The current one, yes. The past ones? No, those were unknown/obscure. If I'm not wrong except the one where FL deliberately jump from second floor (but the maid excused themselves, and FL still 'mad' so practically can't speak). Before this point, the palace maid made sure the abuse were minimal and/or unknown because they need to keep her in check. ML also made sure his own maids surrounding FL daily (the kitchen maid etc).

We as reader see the abuse all the time, but not the characters with each own setting, limitation and circumstances.

Chapter 2 should have been more than enough to order his own people to watch the wife and her maids 24/7. Starvation, hypothermia, sedatives and bondage to the point of bruising is not light or obscure abuse.
