Answer:
He wants the King's complete attention.
He is afraid of someone pointing out the error of his false accusations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Grand-vizir is a person who has great ambition and is often shown as a petty character. Because of all this personality, he is against the desire that the king be cured of his illness (the king had leprosy, which can be extremely debilitating, without proper treatment). He wants the king not to be healed, because he does not want the doctor to have any influence and to be the object of the king's attention, he is jealous and afraid that this doctor will become the king's favorite because he wants to be that favorite.
For this reason, he establishes a plan that makes the king see the doctor as a traitor, that plan includes talking to the king alone, that way he will have all the attention and will have no one to say that what he is talking about relation to the doctor is false.
