Belina had illegitimately seized the throne, and after her ascension, she was up to no good.
As for Louisa, she had kept up a decent disguise before Yu Lan appeared.

[So is this what they call genetics? It's in their blood to steal from others, and when they can't, they resort to assassination.]
[No wonder she and Belina are mother and daughter.]
[I was wrong about Marquis Yisha. I could never understand how her daughter, Louisa, could turn out like this when the Marquis is so kind, elegant, and highly praised.]
[Now it all makes sense. It turns out Belina secretly switched them at birth.]
[How despicable!]
[So back then, Queen Kali really wasn't biased. She chose the most suitable successor for the Empire, Marquis Yisha, but then...]
[If Queen Kali knew what happened after she died, she'd be heartbroken.]
Queen Kali had also been a universally acclaimed Queen.
