As long as the puppae can hatch, theres a small chance. But, the queen possibly dont feed the new larvae.

You have to wait and observe the situation. I dont usually recommend to push a colony, but in this situation its an option. Try to find some puppae from lasius niger in your garden. Maybe you can find some.

edit: Can you find lasius niger often in your country?

she needs peace and rest, keep her nest dark, don't disturb her, offer her water, sugar-water and a fruit fly (or small normal fly) in front of or inside the testtube, hope for the best
