My guess is that there wasn't a lot of bloodshed, so without her heart to complicate the matter, she simply used to conniving ways to ensure the future for Regina to become Queen. Once Cora became a princess and people kneeled when she walked into a room, she was satisfied. Her desire to be a queen was quelled because she knew it was in the cards already at some point down the line of inheritance. She didn't want to be Queen, she wanted to make people bow down in her presence and she got that and then some, so she didn't need to kill anyone to get there, it became her unstated destiny. But the only way for Regina to be Queen, on the other hand, was for her find ond marry another King (or marry her own father ick) ... and Cora chose Leopold for obvious reasons.
