just your regular Quick Ambitious Diligent Patient 30 Intrigue Illusive Shadow Spymaster.

Ambitious people are likely to murder to favor their clse family, ie your kids with your other wives to move them up in inheritance line as well as pretty much anybody that you would inherit titles. Sometimes it's fun to see an ambitious AI married in a distant realm murdering its way through inheritance for it or its kids. Spymaster have a drastic increase in plot power against people in your court

Also as noted, you get stat boost from wife or regent but it can't add to council stat boost so from a purely mathematical point of view a councilor with 16 intrigue or more will give you more intrigue than just your councilor wife (although it's sometimes still a good idea to have your wife as spymaster because the 100 opinion means she will never plot against you which is handy when everybody hate you).

I would suggest starting a conspiracy to kill her but it'll be a waste of time since she has high intrigue. Now if you were either Cathar, Messalian, or had the most progressive of the Status of Women laws, I would suggest killing her via Uriah's Gambit, also known as having her lead an undersized army as a commander against an enemy (Pagan, Karling, Byzantine, HRE, or Ummayads / Abbasids will due just fine) where hopefully she'll get herself killed.

Leading an undersized army is actually not a very effective way to kill your commanders because the battle is short and the death event doesn't have enough time to trigger. You'll need to lose with a big army to semi-reliably kill your commanders.
