No. Gmail scans all messages as they come in, so if there’s anything secret in there it’s too late already.
You can enable PGP to encrypt messages for free, but that only protects your email when the receiving end also enables PGP and has given you their public key beforehand and marked them as sufficiently trusted.
If your recipient has an S/MIME certificate, you can use that to encrypt messages. These certificates cost money, though. Again you’ll need their public key, but you don’t need to mess with any webs of trust.
Email encryption is a pain in the ass to use securely. If you want to share messages safely, use Signal or another secure messenger. Even WhatsApp is more secure than standard email.
