: the empty suit (which as it happens is music to responder's ears). Note that responder could safely set diamonds with 4 as opener is known to be 2335.5NT after a negative response to a Queen Ask has a very particular version of the All Keycards message. Since responder has denied the queen of trumps, the asker must have held it all along. So by inference the apparent Queen Ask was actually an enquiry about the feature in the Queen Ask suit. Responder can now respond again with that in mind:
