It doesn't entirely looks like the ML killed the baby more likely the stress the empress had did.
I mean she was extremely scared to get caught and she knew ML was really dangerous. And from the smiles she got from the ML she looked like she kinda understood the ML knew she was behind the hunting incident. And with the maid who got the ring, the empress reaction looks like everything would be discovered if the couple continue the conversation with the maid. And the empress realising that was like the final hit she needed to break and for the stress to be to much on the baby
A lot to unpack. So ML killed her baby baby by that look on his face. Then you got the king wanting to get her back and didn't give a fuck about his own baby or wife's well-being. I'm with the FL. The woman was shitty but didn't deserve her baby to be killed. She was fighting for the throne and yes it was messy but she ain't deserve that.
