Lexa's hints may be her statement that "love is weakness" along with anything else she'd said to Clarke about not letting emotions get in the way of leading one's people.

It's not too unlike the Star Wars prequels, when Palpatine told Anikin that a politician only cares about power: getting it, keeping it, and getting more of it. Yong Ani was just too dense to consider the fact that Palpitine was himself, a politician, and should not be thought of as some kind of exception. Clarke made the same mistake; she trusted Lexa.
