Perhaps Empress Ye's tired appearance was due to their exhaustion.
Jing Huaixu's harem has become a battlefield for the two empress dowagers to fight. Jing Yan couldn't have missed Empress Ye's hard work.
When Jing Huaixu's biological father died in Anguo, Jing Huaixu was young and could only be manipulated by others.
It's not necessarily true that Jingyan, once he's an adult, will be controlled by the two empress dowagers. Even if he takes them in, Yuejiang won't easily let them into the Eastern Palace.

Yongshou Hall.
In front of the Buddhist hall.
“Grandmother, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince went there in person, and that girl Jingyi didn’t say a single useful word. She was even punished. The Empress has already put Jingyi in confinement. When I went to the Jiaofang Palace, they wouldn’t let me see Jingyi at all.”

"The matter is already settled, so let's just calm down for now. Anyway, we're in a better position than them, so let's avoid making things worse and giving them an opportunity to find fault."
Although Cheng Suyun was very angry, she could still hold back for the time being because she was far more qualified than Zheng Yutong.

Inside the hall.
The man in the golden crown and brocade robes sat upright at his desk, his gaze fixed on the portrait of a beautiful woman hanging before him. Though his tone was as calm as water, a slight frown appeared between his brows.
