"I've heard that the Noble Princess Consort Yi Ning clashed with the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager's furious voice echoed from the side hall. Following this, the noble consort fainted from anxiety, and after the Imperial Physician's diagnosis, it was revealed that the Noble Consort has been pregnant for over four months. Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager was not pleased and ordered Noble Princess Consort Yi Ning to be sent back to Yihua Palace, without any mention of lifting restrictions, only instructing the Imperial Physician to check her pulse for peace daily, with no other arrangements."
The incident happened at Qian'an Hall, and naturally, they were the first to know.
As for the other concubines in the various palace halls, it would likely take some time for them to learn of these events.
"Where is the Empress Dowager?"
"She stormed back to Cining Palace, and I heard she smashed quite a few tea cups. The palace attendants are still tidying up the side hall."
