Also, question about some spoilers i saw for those who read the novel
Spoiler!
Does Trashta knows the baby isn't Sovieshu's and she's hoping the genetics don't show or she's completely convinced it's his?

I'm this close 🤏 to read the novel myself but i don't have much time in my hands rn

No, she's thouroughly convinced it was Sovieshu's prior to having a paternity test, and even then she dismisses the results (though its difficult to tell if she's in genuine denial or just knows that the baby not being Sovieshu's strips her of her postition and power).

But
SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE NOVEL

Spoiler!
Sovieshu does end up using the fact that the baby isn't his to both depose her as empress and charge her and the Rimwells (minus Lebetti and baby Ian) with treason. The Rimwells are executed by Sovieshu and Rashta recives lifetime imprisonment in a small tower and commits suicide soon after.
