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?

That was after Jingyan had told his mom that he was entering the fight for the throne, yes? I don't think his mother and Gao have any official contact, but it's possible she sent notice, or a hint, through one of the eunuchs (iirc she does seem friendly with one or two) that she'd appreciate a chance to see the Emperor again and if Gao could perhaps do something.
New headcanon: Gao really admired Consort Chen.
