-Forgive me, Empress, but why did you mention Yubin?
-It was a red herring.
Well... that's how a red herring usually works, right? It draws the audience's attention to a detail that is not relevant to the plot (or is relevant to a lesser extent) in order to mislead them. The reason for her words could be that she knew Olivia was worried about the disagreement with her son. This would have prompted her to make such a suggestion. In reality, the moment about the theoretical possibility of Yubin inheriting the throne served a different purpose. The chosen heir, later in the plot, could die (as a result of the same conspiracy). And Yubin, as the emperor's son who was no longer an outcast in his homeland, would have had a chance to legitimately come to power.
