I mean, honey, you have the answer right there. It is life or death for anyone else to find out. Clearly she only wants to keep loving you and for you to accept and love her too.

Thank you for your work!

Going better than I thought for how I was afraid they would drag this out.

Judging from her dialogue/monologue so far and her expression at the end, I'm assuming she knows that but is asking this as sort of a test to see if Qi Nian will keep lying to or start trusting her.

I think she suspects, but does not want to assume given her lone at the end she clearly assumed Qi Nian did it to become emperor, but realises after saying it that it would make no sense to have such a dangerous and zealously garded secret purely for that. She might have also realised the empress dowager would have to know this and as such realise there is more to this than it seems from what she knows and instead reaches out to Qi Nian to give "him" the chance to speak and explain "himself" which is an extension of her saying

If she really cared for me, how could she bear to decieve me? What if she has troubles I don't know of?

And

Every additional person who knows adds risk for Qi Nian...

With the proverbial gun being fired when she says

Qi Nian, don't you know how serious an offence this is? Were others to find out, you'd-

Where she seemingly realises two things

1. There is too much risk for Qi Nian to try doing this, hence her asking if "he" wanted to be emperor that bad, as there would be almost certainly people who would find out or know including
2. The empress dowager having to know this given she gave birth to "him" and previously being established they have a strained relationship with the empress dowager clearly being controlling and manipulative towards everyone

which is almost certainly why she stops herself from assuming and reaches out as it clicks this was likely a forced thing: yet, she does not understand yet why

I agree, I'm just not that great at fleshing out an argument, so I just commented the bare minimum of my general idea I could muster lmao.
