2. A

Explanation:

1. After being cured by the physician, the King showed him gratefulness by making him rich, as he had promised. This however didn't go unnoticed by the grand-vizier.

The author proceeds to tell us how avaricious, greedy the grand-vizier was and uncovers his plans to destroy Douban.

He grew extremely jealous of the physician, and determined to bring about his ruin.

This sentence announces that the plot will continue through the grand-vizier's evil actions.

2. The vizier's jealousy leads him to speak against Douban to the King. But the King is not easily fooled. He understands the bad intentions of the vizier and expresses no doubts concerning the man that had cured him.

In order to criticize his greedy vizier, the King quotes a replica made by the king Sinbad's vizier: one ought not believe everything that a mother-in-law says.
