My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"No need for that. Brother Yonghe is still going to take Madam Gu to see a doctor. We shouldn't bother you any more." Wang Wei shook his head and took Cui Yu to the carriage.

"Brother Yonghe, goodbye."

"Brother Mojie, take care."

After Chang An saw Wang Wei off, he helped Gu Li walk in. At this time, Gu Li suddenly called out, "Chang Lang."

"uh-huh?"

"Chang Lang, what do you think is better, one little baby or two little babies?" Gu Li held her belly with one hand and raised the other hand with two fingers raised.

"Whether it's just one little cutie or two little cuties, they are our own children. Of course they are all good. What's wrong?" Chang An didn't realize what Gu Li meant at this time.

"Mrs. Cui thinks that my belly is this big after four months because there are two little ones inside." Gu Li explained, "I got sick much earlier than Mrs. Cui, and my illness was more serious than Mrs. Cui's. Could it be because there are two children in my belly?"

"Brother Mojie and I felt the same this morning. But we are not doctors after all, so it's hard to say for sure." Chang An smiled and touched Gu Li's belly.

"So after we had lunch, we went to see Doctor Zhang. If there was any disease, we would treat it. But if it was really the two little darlings, that would be the best."

"Ah."

When the two returned to the courtyard, the food was already served. After Chang An put the bookcase back in the study, he started to eat. But before he started eating, Gu Li suddenly held his stomach and frowned.

"What's wrong? Is your stomach starting to hurt again?" Chang An asked with concern when he saw Gu Li's appearance.

Gu Li nodded, then picked up the bowl, took a deep breath, and began to pick up the food. After picking up a piece of food for Chang An, she said, "It's okay, Chang Lang, it won't hurt soon."

"Okay." Chang An looked at her like this and said, "If it hurts later, remember to tell me, don't hold it in, okay?"

"it is good."

......

In the clinic in the West Market, Doctor Zhang had just finished lunch and was sitting on the armchair, closing his eyes to rest. At this moment, the medicine boy suddenly shouted, "Sir! Marquis Dingkang and his wife are here!"

"Come here."

Doctor Zhang sat up holding the handle of the chair, and then came to the front hall. At this time, Chang An and Gu Li were sitting in the clinic, but it seemed that Gu Li's stomach was a little strange.

He stood outside the door, stroking his beard gently, then walked forward with a smile, bowed and said, "Marquis Dingkang, Madam Marquis."

"Doctor Zhang."

The couple stood up and bowed, then followed him into the compartment. After both parties were seated, Doctor Zhang asked, "Did Marquis Dingkang and his wife come to see the doctor again today?"

"good."

Doctor Zhang nodded, then lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Li's belly, and said, "As far as I remember, the Marquis's pregnancy should have been only four months, why does it look like it's five months?"

"We didn't know that either. Besides, my wife was feeling a little unwell and had frequent abdominal pain, so we brought her to see a doctor," Chang An replied.

Doctor Zhang nodded slightly, and then said, "In that case, I will take Madam Hou's pulse. Madam Hou, please."

Gu Li then stretched out his hand and placed it on the table, and then Doctor Zhang followed suit and began to feel the pulse. After feeling one hand, he fell silent, frowned slightly, and then said:

"Madam Hou, let me take a look at the other hand."

Gu Li and Chang An were both stunned for a moment, and then the former slowly withdrew his right hand from the table and replaced it with his left hand. Doctor Zhang then drank a sip of water and started taking the patient's pulse again.

But this time, Doctor Zhang's reaction was exactly the same as before, with a slight frown on his face. He withdrew his hand, stroked his beard, and said:

"Marquis Dingkang, please forgive me for being so rude, but I wonder if you would allow me to examine the Marquis's wife's abdomen."

Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other at this time, and Gu Li nodded slightly at him, so Chang An nodded, which was considered as permission. So Doctor Zhang said softly, "Excuse me," and reached out to gently touch Gu Li's belly.

Doctor Zhang first stretched out two fingers, touched the right side of Gu Li's stomach, and then pressed it gently. After thinking for a while, he changed to the left side, checked it for a while according to the previous method, and then returned to his seat.

Then Doctor Zhang showed a rare trace of doubt. Gu Li was nervous at this time. He held Chang An's hand and asked worriedly: "Is Xiaoguai sick?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head at this time and said, "Madam Hou has misunderstood. There is nothing wrong with the child. It's just that I am a little strange."

"Then am I sick?" Gu Li asked again.

"No, I just felt her pulse and felt there was nothing wrong. Then when I checked Madam Hou's abdomen, the child was healthy. But the only problem is that Madam Hou's stomach..." Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and murmured in confusion.

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and then said, "Although the Marquis's belly is a little big, she is actually fine. Marquis Dingkang does not need to worry."

"If Marquis Dingkang is really worried, you can come and visit me from time to time. I won't charge you any money."

Chang An still asked worriedly, "Is my wife really alright?"

"I dare to guarantee with my name to Marquis Dingkang that the Marquis' wife is absolutely fine. The baby in her belly is also healthy and full of energy." Doctor Zhang nodded and replied.

At this point, Chang An stopped making trouble and asked, "My wife has abdominal pain from time to time, and her previous vomiting was also quite severe. I wonder if Doctor Zhang has any solution?"

"Okay." Doctor Zhang nodded, and then asked, "Has Madam Hou still had symptoms of nausea recently?"

Gu Li shook his head and replied, "No more."

"What about the abdominal pain? Is it still there?" asked Doctor Zhang.

"From time to time."

“How many times a day?”

"Four or five times at most."

Doctor Zhang nodded, and then said: "Abdominal pain is also a symptom that new mothers will experience. Although Madam Hou's condition is more serious, you also have an old illness and are weaker than other new mothers, so there is no need to worry."

"If the pain is severe, I will prescribe a medicine for you. You should take it once a day in the morning. It may not necessarily stop the pain, but it will have some relief effect."

After that, Doctor Zhang picked up a pen and wrote out a prescription. Then he said, "If you feel worse after drinking it, don't drink it. Come back to see me."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang."

Chang An took the prescription and left with Gu Li. When they got home, Chang An carried Gu Li out of the car and saw Gao Shi standing at the door hesitating. He was a little confused, and then he helped Gu Li walk forward and said:

"Brother Gao."

Gao Shi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Brother Chang."

Chang An looked at Gao Shi, then at his own doorman, and asked with some amusement, "Why is Brother Gao here? Don't you want to come in and sit down?"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the doorman, as if asking a question. Seeing this, the doorman quickly replied, "My Lord, I asked Master Gao to come in, but Master Gao stood at the door as soon as he arrived and didn't respond to us."

Chang An frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong, Brother Gao? Is there anything you can't talk about inside? Are you worried about something?"

Gao Shi shook his head and said, "I just... I just don't know whether I should go in or tell Brother Chang about this."

"Oh, now that you've said that, if you have something on your mind, just say it out. Who would be hurt if you don't say it out?" Chang An patted Gao Shi on the shoulder and motioned him to come in.

"Tell me, Brother Gao, what's the matter? Do you need my help?" Chang An said as he walked.

"It's just some worries," Gao Shi sighed, "It's about the Ministry of War that makes me uncomfortable."

Chang An frowned in confusion, then shouted, "Someone! Help Gu Niang go back first!"

After giving the order, two maids came forward and helped Gu Li walk towards the main courtyard. After confirming that Gu Li had completely left, Chang An asked, "What happened? Was he targeted in any way?"

Gao Shi shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I feel that there is something about the people in the Ministry of War that I can't explain."

After sitting in the main hall, Huaiqin served tea to them. Chang'an continued, "Tell me more about it."

"Recently, General Wang is planning to launch a surprise attack on the Turks because of the incident at the surrendered city last time." Gao Shi said, "Although the specific plan has been sent back to the Ministry of War, I feel something is wrong."

"Because the people in the Ministry of War didn't even look at the plan, and decided to allocate troops and money to support General Wang's surprise attack on the Turks. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to make such arrangements without discussion? At the very least, I think it should be reported to His Majesty."

"But they didn't do that either?" Chang An finally understood. This was Li Longji's fault because he delegated too much power to the six ministries.

Gao Shi nodded, and then said: "They also said that there is no need to report to Your Majesty, because the Tang army is strong and the Turks are just a few thousand people. So they took the initiative to issue an order on this matter."

"Then Brother Gao, what do you think?" Chang An knew that Gao Shi was a great talent. The reason why Gao Shi in history was a late bloomer was simply because he was already old when people discovered his great talent.

So now, Chang An wants to do his best to help Gao Shi and let people see Gao Shi's talents.

"I think we shouldn't have carried out this surprise attack," Gao Shi said, "because the military pay and rations must be sent first, but the rations have just been allocated from Chang'an City. If we rush in like this, before the rations and fodder arrive, the Shuofang Army will have to return to the camp to replenish their rations within three days."

"But if that's all, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if General Wang's subordinates lead a light army to attack first, they might be annihilated and the losses would be very heavy."
