It's just finding a legitimate reason to tell outsiders that His Highness was just staying there temporarily, and it can't be blamed on the Crown Princess.
Of course, whether His Highness was actually thinking of staying there is another matter.
Wei You's mind raced, and he quickly helped the prince to his feet: "Your Highness has been frightened, please go to Yichun Palace to rest!"
As he was being helped up, Wei You kept curiously looking around at the prince's face. The attendant wiped the prince's face for a long time, but still left a large, conspicuous patch of ash on his forehead.
Seeing that Wei You had finally gotten the hang of things, Jing Yan helped him up and gave instructions to his attendants before leaving.

Jing Yan was unfazed by their surprise and strode in confidently: "My Xiande Palace is on fire, so I'm staying here with the Crown Princess for a few days."
Granny Ye: "..."
Qingfei: "..."
Has the Eastern Palace caught fire?
How could they not know?
There was a commotion outside Yichun Palace. Qingke Xizhi, who was on night watch, had already woken Yuejiang up. She spoke to Yuejiang, who was still sleepy.
