The emperor is still taking the side of a woman that lied about being blind, fooled him, embarrassed him, hasn't grown a bump after months... and probably gave him syphilis if this is in any way realistic. He deserves every punishment in the book!
Who cares about how she might be pregnant? Let her give birth under arrest! Why is she parading around the palace and openly scheming against the actual empress? Why is she allowed to be in charge of his HEALTH? She could be a spy for all they know! Did no one see her pour an entire vial on him?
And let's not forget he previously put the liar in charge of the budget for orphanages, hospitals and defense. His subjects would not only lose respect and openly mock him, they would revolt. And then either the other nobles would have him replaced by a regent/his closest relative, or another noble family would do a coup, or the empire would be reduced to ashes.
