I wonder if that has to do with the WoL escaping. The idea was to have him framed for the poisoning along with defaming the Scions as a whole. Instead, he got a conflict that resulted in an effective lynch mob needing to be sent out to detain them, supposedly massive losses to the Scions, and the WoL currently beyond his grasp in Coerthas.
There's something to be said about providing a scapegoat when things go south, and his only remaining option is Raubahn - the right hand (sorry not sorry) of the deceased Sultana. It was mentioned that it would be hard to get the populace to turn on the WoL... harder still against one of their more notable local figures.
Or, perhaps... just perhaps... not all of this was his doing. Guidance by another as you suggested, but it's also possible that Teledji either overplayed his hand or made changes that affected Lolorito's endgame. Maybe the Sultana wasn't supposed to die, perhaps Raubahn was to be a tool instead of a prisoner, perhaps Teledji was supposed to remain as Lolorito's front man.
Definitely a lot of potential explanations, and just as many unanswered questions to get us hyped for Heavensward.
