She spoiled him because she knew he wouldn't trust or like her if she abused him and may well plotted to use him as a pawn by implanting that "you are the most important person in the universe" mentality into his head. Unfortunately for her, this worked ''too'' well and Kuzco started to put himself above ''her'' too.

She was already annoyed with the emperor at the beginning of the movie (when Pacha came back and told her Kuzco couldn't see him). So nailing him with a frying pan was a way for her to finally give him a piece of her mind like she wanted, under the pretense that she was startled by a strange talking llama. She certainly didn't sound very remorseful about it after the fact.

* Not impossible, but unlikely. If she had resorted to murder before, she probably would have thought of it on her way out the door. Rather, she just takes out her anger on the busts of Kuzco's head, until the idea to kill him is practically giftwrapped for her - by Kronk, of all people.

Narrator!Kuzco represents Kuzco's inner monologue as he goes back in time to review the events of the movie, intent on persuading the audience that he's not the bad guy. However, upon seeing things from the other characters' perspectives (as well as Pacha's family, Yzma's motives, ect.), he realizes that this is not the case. When the real Kuzco tells Narrator!Kuzco to shut up, it's because he knows he can no longer fool himself--or us, because we saw the whole thing.

* She raised him since infancy and it was implied she offed his parents to do so. Most if not all of Kuzco's petty and narcissistic tendencies came from her. Also, she may or may not have been planning to use him as puppet ruler until he fired her.

her.
* Yzma didn't originally plan to kill Kuzco - it seems she was happy enough with the immense power of being Royal Vizier. After all, she's been loyal for years - all through Kuzco's youth; she says so herself. She only comes up with the idea of killing him once she's fired. This is actually fairly important - in Kuzco's HeelRealisation in the swamp, he knows it's even his fault she wanted to kill him.

* I have entertained the idea Yzma might not be that evil for the same reason listed above. I mean, Kuzco did have an old man thrown out a window for "throwing off [his] groove." But I ultimately decided against because the only reason why she's trying to kill Kuzco is because he not only stays in the way of a potential position for her, but toke power away from her. So she essentially tried to kill him because she was power-hungry. So she's probably could be considered NominalHero at best and at worst an outright villain.

Think about it. She tries to kill a greedy, selfish emperor in order to seize the throne. She buries this with a lie in order to preserve her own safety. She did "practically raise" the man and he constantly insulted her and fired her in a cruel way. Her compassion and empathy is shown when Kronk fails his task, putting her life severely at risk, and instead of killing him as most villains would, she gets him to help her find the enemy. She never seems to consider killing Kronk despite the constant times he fails. And as for putting Pacha's life in danger, well he was helping said emperor and being a risk to her freedom and possibly her life. And then there's the matter of "and why do you think i should provide your family with food?"... would Kuzko have been [[NotSoDifferent any more generous]] [[spoiler: before his redemption]]?

[[WMG: The guards believed that the talking llama was Kuzco.]]
When Yzma calls the guards in and Kuzco says he's the emperor, then says they're not listening to him, they are. And they truly believe him. He was just such a bad ruler, they tried to kill him anyway. Evidenced by Kronk mentioning no one caring about him being gone, and the funeral/redecorating scene.

So hear me out, in his youth, Pacha looked a like like Kuzco's dead dad, Manco. Yzma was somewhat younger and still vain, and the pretty boy lackey was the previous model before Kronk. Yzma's father being the Grand Mortician allowed her to stay alive much longer than she other wise should have, and some act of heroic forgiveness on Manco's part forgave Yzma of her crimes, an action he would not live to regret. Manco died and Yzma ruled in his stead, raising Kuzco.
