All the accounts seem to indicate the emperor's wife was involved or at least somewhat to blame.

Wonder if this is the norm in kingly assassinations, a coincidence that they were chosen or a tendency of ancient schoolers to ascribe bad events to women.

Blaming the wife/mother/Livia is an ancient Roman tradition, so I wouldn't be surprised by the latter.
