The reason Fan Xian's chest key was with the empress dowager was because the empress dowager had obtained Ye Qingmei's chest and key after her death. However, Wu Zhu took the box from the empress dowager and forgot to take the key. To avoid the empress dowager's suspicion, Fan Xian made a fake key and put it back in its original place. Fan Xian chose this method to protect his and Ye Qingmei's secret because the empress dowager might find out that the real key was lost and cause trouble. So Fan Xian left the real key with the empress dowager.

To talk about this problem, one had to first talk about the story between the empress dowager and Ye Qingmei. First of all, the empress dowager and the others knew about the existence of the chest.(When the Qing Emperor's father ascended to power, he relied on Ye Qingmei to use the gun in the chest to kill his competitors.(One of them was Si Lili's grandfather.) However, the empress dowager had never liked Ye Qingmei. Firstly, it was because Ye Qingmei was out of tune with the times and had a rebellious way of thinking. Secondly, it was because they were afraid of Ye Qingmei's rise to power and were afraid of the chest's power. Thirdly, the Qing Emperor was unusually infatuated with Ye Qingmei. Ye Qingmei was not like a normal woman who behaved herself. In the empress dowager's eyes, she was an absurd woman who did not abide by her womanly principles. After Ye Qingmei's death, the Empress Dowager also contributed a lot. They originally wanted to find the box, but they couldn't find it. They only found the key. It was not easy for others to find it with the empress dowager, and the Qing Emperor would not see it often, so the empress dowager put it away.
The reason Fan Xian killed the empress dowager was because the empress dowager had done something to Ye Qingmei, causing the Qing Emperor to have killing intent toward Ye Qingmei. The Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with Ye Qingmei. Because Ye Qingmei threatened the imperial power, she gave her a white silk and hoped that she would commit suicide. However, Ye Qingmei did not listen to the Empress Dowager's orders and returned the white silk to the Empress Dowager. After the Qing Emperor learned of this, he developed killing intent towards Ye Qingmei. Thus, Fan Xian took advantage of Ye Qingmei's weakest moment to instruct the empress dowager and empress to attack. The specific details and motives might need to be further studied.

However, whether the empress dowager knew that Fan Xian was the Qing Emperor's illegitimate child, the search results did not have a clear answer.
