It's a dossier, the Grand Council wrote down per day as per the annotated in vermilion ink or not annotated memorials and file them for future reference. Monthly dossier has one to six volumes. It also has file for Manchu translated to Chinese, each season has one volume or six months has one volume. Most filed memorials are about local events, quality is a lot. It could support the leak in files in the palace or the Grand Council.

Maybe the reference was in these documents of the contents supplied for her official burial some time after her death on 15th of November 1908?

or the following below October 12th?

On the tenth day before her death, that is, on October 12th in the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, Cixi ordered the eunuch Yongxi, the leader of Ningshouguan, to put the following treasures, Prince Yikuang, into the golden well.
Here is Prince Yikuang below.

So in the monthly dossier for October may have the original reference? I hope that is of some help?

its go to see that the second one has been found all along. I wonder how many museums and collections have ended up having odd pieces from Cixis tomb?
