Cordelia's assumption was correct. The white female she had just meet wasn't the "true" empress but might have been for the time. It wasn't completely clear to Cordelia but the way the queen replied also make it sound as though she too was in the dark. Perhaps it had been due to her impregnated state that kept her within the den more than out and about where news flowed.

When offered food she replied "I appreciate the offer but Memory was kind enough to satiate me along our journey. He was very kind to me, and didn't need to be," she acknowledged.
