I guess she was okay with killing hundreds of innocent people though.
She had to gtfo. They woulda definitely made her "disappear"
Yep, seeing that Lord (Carrick? Caron? Cargyle?) hanging in the Red Keep was her cue to nope the **** out of there.
No spoilers but pre-HotD lore follows:
I also think - if you read the history of the Targaryens pre HotD, they are relatively reluctant to kill one another, generally preferring imprisonment. Two exceptions are Visenya possibly poisoning Aenys (Jaehaerys' father) and Maegor the Cruel killing Prince Aegon the Uncrowned (Aenys' son, heir, and Jaehaerys' older brother). I believe up until this point that is the only kinslaying the Targaryens have committed. Could be wrong. They also have never used dragons on each other except for Maegor who killed his nephew Aegon with it. Maegor is unanimously considered to be in the top 3 worst Targaryen kings, an kinslayer, and his reign ended with his likely murder, so not exactly company you want to keep.
We may think it's dumb, but Rhaenys has valid reasons - to her - to not roast the entire Green family right now.
