I feel like with the knowledge that her bio and adopted fams love her (without the original plot of her bio ones being worn out from an almost 20 year misguided search and never sensing the signal of her aliveness - that consort did a great job plotting that for her purposes) the best way to have everyone be happy would be for the emperor and archduke to marry eachother after getting the empress kicked out. They can un brainwash Azella together (hopefully - she’s still a kid) and still have the family.
