Idiom story

At the end of the Warring States period, Prince Dan of Yan was a hostage in the state of Qin. He had a conflict with Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, and was imprisoned. Prince Dan asked for his return. The king of Qin said: "Aconitum white, horse born horn, is Xu er." Prince Dan had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh. Maybe God had eyes. A crow with white head came from outside the cell.
