Not only did everyone in the capital go into hiding, but she hid inside of Ozai's private bunker in the event Aang and his friends actually did manage to get in with the plan to stall them. She brought a pair of Dai Li agents to help, and when they were defeated she had a backup to bait Sokka by taunting him about Suki.

** Sokka has a down to earth variation of this: He knew Azula was baiting him and he knew that Azula was just there to waste time, and yet the mere mention of Suki (which Sokka gave up, Azula only mentioned a vague favorite prisoner and let him do the rest) sent Sokka into a flying rage that cost them the necessary time to find Ozai.
