Oh no - that's not overthinking it at all! From what I recall Gao totally orchestrated that "random" walk near her palace, knowing that the healing herb scent would entice and soothe the Emperor. Now - if he did it because he knew Jing-fei could get the Emperor in a better mood (which would be short-term good for Gao), or as a hidden favor to Jing-fei... who can say? Or was it a little bit of both?
