Cunning but dumb?!

Am I the only one who is surprised how the second wife ( cesar’s mother) who is known to be cunning and smart with her schemes ( maybe) stealing the king from his first wife and yet made such a dumb mistake as admitting that the arsenic was for ( shameful ) syphilis?! Like she could ve gotten out of jail but she must’ve known that admitting it was a ( shamed) sexually transmitted disease would make her lose the favour of the king and admitting that she also cheated on him! What a dumb move for a «  cunning « woman. Like it doesn’t make sense, only the author wanted to put an end to her but in a dumb way. Also why no one questioned Ariadne throwing the water glass from the queen’s hand?! No one asked how did she know?!

    I mean it doesn’t mean she cheated on him? He’s the king he could have many bed partners and could have gotten it from one of them and given it to her. Works both ways. Also fl did kinda trick her into admitting it either way true it’s not very smart. I honestly don’t think fl is very smart either so imo

    No they never mentioned that he had another partner except for his two wives, technically if he beds another woman she’s going to be another concubine or royal consort just like Cesar’s mother and there’s none, it ( the whole thing) was not well thought out I guess
