Maybe caches of wildfire underneath Baelor's Sept? How many times has Cersei said she'd burn the Red Keep to the ground to save her children? She's got one left. You think she gives a fuck about The Great Sept of Baelor?
That seems most likely.

I doubt this information would be helpful to her right now. Also Qyburn's words - "More. Much more." -wouldn't make much sense.

She already knew Sansa was alive in the North and married to Bolton - Littlefinger told her himself, right after dropping the girl at Winterfell. Maybe it's about Jon and Sansa trying to rally lords against Boltons, but again - why would Quyburn say "much more"? Jon and Sansa have been largely unsuccessful so far and anyway - an upcoming skirmish between Boltons and some wildlings wouldn't seem like a thing to be particularly concerned about, in Cersei's current position.
Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like we'll find out next week, as - judging by the preview - next episode will be all about the North. Personally - I think Cersei burning the Sparrows would make for a decent season closer. And a fairly easy one to write, without confusing even the least committed viewers - there's almost no setup needed. I can't think of anything else the writers could do at this point, without pulling stuff out of nowhere. Everything they set up this - and the previous - season, as a potential solution to Cersei's problems failed - Jamie, Tyrell's army, zombified the Mountain...
