I dunno, if it was just that, just a dismissal from her job and maybe pulling her credentials would've been enough. Outright exile seems to indicate there was more going on.
Also, Lingsha says Yunhua was exiled due to being framed. Obviously, she's not referring to drugging Dan Heng, because Lingsha didn't even know about that incident. So the stuff she was being officially tried for was other stuff. May well have gotten political since it centered around the power balance of the Alchemy Commission.

Wut? What are you talking about?
If you are talking about the titular position of high elder, Dan Feng already named Bailu his successor. That had nothing to do with his sentencing of forced molting or when it was decided to be carried out.
I'm talking about the issue *WHEN* the forced molting took place, not the *WHY* he was sentenced. If they took 500 years to actually decide on the sentencing of forced molting, that's taking the hypothetical political trading to a completely absurd degree, and such a government should be completely incapable of doing anything important. If they decided on the sentencing after a few years or even a few decades (the max I could suspend disbelief for), that still means the forced molting should've been enforced 600+ years ago.

Dunno, it's not like we have a concrete example. Maybe usually the high elder has a faster rebirth rate, and this time it was slowed because the inheritance was split between Dan Heng and Bailu. Maybe in future patches they'll tell us more.
