Well, having a slave carry a royal child "hurt Navier's position" though, not to mention, she was even divorced. And being affectionate with the mistress in front of his legal wife, in front of the nobility, forget about "nobles with act up against her", she was like a laughing topic of nobility being played by a slave.
If he doesn't love Trashta, doesn't mean he cares about Navier, because if he do, he won't to it. Cheating is non-negotiable.
I mean, if it is a fellow noble woman who carry the child, then maybe it is worth fighting for the position but having a slave overthrow an empress not only hurt her as his wife but also a challenge as a noble woman.
Oh yeah we didn't missed that part.
If he only told Navier about everything, then with a brain like her, a better solution could have found.
Oh well, it's good afterall, he gave her a chance to find someone better than him.

Oh this was supposed to be a reply to a post. I didn't meant to defend Sovieshit
I'm just explaining his plan because people say that he somehow loves Rashta at the beginning.
"Hurting Navier's position" I'm talking politically here. It would be near impossible to divorce and make Navier adopt the child if it was a noble woman.
He needs a commoner who only had him as her back up so that once he had the child, he can take away all of the power.
Again, it all just happened that Rashta is a slave.
All of your points are valid, but it was more on the emotional side which can easily be twisted using the media.

Tbh I also pitied Trashta cuz she wanted to live and survive her fault only I'd she's dumb . And about Sovieshit cuz they way he brought up the mistress to have a child without explaining anything to Navier . And the way he treated her like a third wheel and would always pick side of Trashta . I think if he was smarter he'd talk w Navier about it before doing all this sht. But aye good he didn't now we have Hotter ML lead
Things that people missed about Sovieshit
1) he doesn't love Rashta, ever. He just wanted to have an heir. Having a child with another noble woman would hurt Navier's position and the nobles with act up against her. It just turns out that Rashta was a slave not a commoner. (He used the same technique his father used to introduce his mistress)
I think he thought that Rashta would simply just go away after Navier adopt their kid.
2) everything would be so easy if he just investigated the poison that made Navier infertile.
East has way more many mages. One way or another, they would have found out a way to heal her, just like how Heinry healed her with mana stones.
But doing so would harm his mother.
Yeah, he chose his mother's reputation than Navier's.
