QZ imprinting on Zetian like a baby duck in Heavenly Tyrant

Two predictions for iron widow book three:

1. This is potentially a spoiler if you haven't finished the first book and/or you haven't seen the book cover for Heavenly Tyrant

Qin Zheng will get jealous of Zetian's other lovers (obv Yizhi and Shimin), he will burn down her favorite pagoda, and then she will kill him and mix his ashes into the cement that builds the new pagoda. I'm basing this prediction off of what Wu Zetian did to her lover Xue Huaiyi.

2. THIS PREDICTION WILL BE A GIANT SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED HEAVENLY TYRANT!!!

Whether or not that baby is actually Zetian's, I think it will die. Historically speaking, Zetian blamed one of her husband's concubines for murder, and then Confucian scholars blamed Zetian for murder. I'm not totally sure how this would play out in the book because Qin Zheng is too yandere for concubines methinks. Zetain could probably blame one of Qin Zheng's supporters, though.
